operation. The only maintenance required is to keep the System clean and dry, and to

verify that there is no physical damage to the Bedside Unit and to the Sensing Unit.

The sensing unit should be replaced on an annual basis to ensure proper functionality of

the system.

Gently wipe the exterior of the Bedside Unit using soft, slightly damp cloth / wipes

containing anti-septic substances. Wipes containing alcohols, Chlorohexidine, and bleach

material with concentration up to 5% can be used. Avoid excessive liquids.
