MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Testing of Indicator Light Function
Frequency
This test should be completed upon initial equipment check-in and once every 12 months (or
more frequently if required by hospital guidelines).
Method
1. Insert the HotDog Controller power plug into a properly grounded hospital grade electrical
outlet and confirm that NO cables or devices are connected to any of the ports.
2. Turn the Mains Power Switch to ON and observe for the following proper start-up
sequence:
a. Individual Alarm lights power up sequentially
b. Segmented displays power up as individual units (sequentially, left to right)
3. After the lights illuminate in sequence, the software version is displayed for approximately
2 seconds.
4. After the sequence completes, only the Mains Power ON Light remains illuminated.
5. If this sequence varies or is incomplete, contact Technical Support (see
Cleaning—General
Warnings
DO NOT use a dripping wet cloth and DO NOT immerse HotDog components in liquid.
Moisture will damage the components, and thermal injury may result.
Precautions
DO NOT use pure harsh solvents (e.g., MEK, acetone, etc.) to clean HotDog components.
Solvents may damage plastic parts, labeling and product finish.
DO NOT use high-level disinfectants (e.g., gluteraldehyde, peracetic acid or hydrogen
peroxide-based solutions). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends
against the use of high level disinfectants for cleaning environmental surfaces that may
contact the patient since the chemicals are highly toxic.
DO NOT spray cleaning solutions into electrical connectors.
Recommended cleaners
Alcohol-based disinfectants are easiest to use since they are fast-acting and can be either
sprayed or wiped on. The following list of alcohol-based cleaners is provided for reference only
and is not an endorsement of the manufacturers or their cleaning products: Ecolab (Incidin
Liquid, Incides N, Incidin Foam, Incidin Sun, Mikro-Bak III), Merz (Pursept-A Xpress, Pursept
Foam, Mucocit-A Economy) and Lysoform (Aerodesin 2000, Lysoform Spray).
Other cleaners that have been tested and are compatible with the outer surfaces of HotDog
components include sodium hypochlorite (diluted bleach), phenolic germicidal detergent
quaternary ammonium detergent.
