Instructions for Use

Maintenance

6.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY

The device can be only used on battery power therefore it has to be ensured that the battery is charged regularly. One battery charge is sufficient for approximately 8000 measurements or 56 hours of continuous use.

To charge the battery, place the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT on the MESI LARGE CHARGING PLATE UNIT. During the charging process the light on the module will be flashing orange. Only when the device is completely charged it will start flashing green. For more information see chapter 5.5 MULTIFUNCTIONAL LED BUTTON.

If the capacity of the battery is significantly decreased after a certain period of intensive use, the battery is most likely spent, and it should be replaced. As the device does not contain any parts which can be replaced by a user, contact your local distributor or the manufacturer about replacing the battery.

6.2 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

⚠️Read and follow cleaning instructions carefully.

Reusable pulse oximetry sensors

The pulse oximeter sensor must be carefully cleaned and disinfected after every use and before use with a different patient. The sensor can be reused on the same patient, for the patient’s entire stay. If the sensor is covered with dust and dirt, it can affect the performance of the device. Observe the cleaning instructions in the Instructions for Use that came with the sensor.

⚠️Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, volatile liquids or excessive force when cleaning the device. Don’t dip the sensor in liquids or cleaning agents.
