CLEANING AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The PadScan HD 5 Plus is non-immersible. It should be wiped down with a soft, clean cloth dampened with

a cleaning solution such as soap and water, or a mild detergent solution, or as per hospital/clinic cleaning

instructions.

Performing regular maintenance will reduce the need for costly repairs. Check the system and calibration

every 24 months or whenever you suspect the system is off calibration.
