MAINTENANCE AND HANDLING
Loading the Paper
The internal printer/recorder uses 4-inch wide (110 mm) thermosensitive
printing paper. Model 6979 Printer Paper refills can be ordered from
Guidant.
Use the following procedure to load paper into the internal printer/
recorder:
1. Open the printer door.
2. If any sheets from the previous pack remain, but did not feed, remove
these and rotate the roller with clean fingertips to remove any small
pieces of paper still under the printhead.
3. Unfold one sheet of paper and orient the pack such that the sensitive
side is up and the pagination mark is at the bottom of the paper. Slip
the pack into the printer/recorder.
NOTE: You must use paper with pagination markings. Paper will not
paginate properly if paper does not have markings.
4. Allow the unfolded sheet to lay straight between the guides on the
right of the printer/recorder.
5. Close the printer door completely. The printer/recorder will automati-
cally begin the paper-loading sequence and will stop at the first pag-
ination mark after paper is detected. If the papers edges are wrin-
10
kled, let 4 or 5 pages feed through-the printer will self-align the paper
to its proper position.
The printer/recorder is now ready to resume printing.
For information regarding loading paper into the optional external printer,
refer to the user manual for the printer.
Thermal Paper Storage
Store the heat-sensitive paper for the internal printer/recorder in a cool,
dark environment. Do not attempt to erase the printer/recorder paper.
Printed paper will last approximately 30 days under direct fluorescent
light. To ensure the permanence of the patients record, store the printed
paper away from direct sunlight, heat, or fumes from organic com-
pounds. Storage temperatures above 65°C, sustained exposure to direct
sunlight, or exposure to high humidity, acetone, ammonia, alcohols, or
other organic compounds may cause the paper to discolor.
NOTES:
If printed reports are to be kept for prolonged periods, you must
make a photocopy of the thermosensitive paper as this paper is not
intended for long-term retention, and will lose legibility over time.
Some brands of adhesive tape applied to a printed report will fade
the printing after 30 days.
Cleaning the PRM
Clean the housing and touchscreen of the PRM with a soft cloth lightly
dampened with water.
Clean the printer/recorder with a dry, soft brush to eliminate dust and par-
ticles that may accumulate during printing and storage.
CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive cloth or volatile solvents to clean any
portion of the PRM.
The cables used with the PRM are not packaged sterile
.
When neces-
sary, clean the cables with a soft cloth dampened with a mild cleaning so-
lution (eg, Liqui-nox for the sterilizable telemetry wand; Borax or a 1:10
bleach solution for other cables). Using the same method, wipe them
completely with sterile water and towel or air dry. DO NOT use an ultra-
sonic cleaner nor immerse the cables. Clean the sterilizable teleme-
try wand in the same manner, allowing no fluids to enter the wand
cavity. See the “Preparation for Use” section for sterilization in-
structions.

Patient Data Disk
The Model 6627 Patient Data Disk must be inserted with the arrow on the
top left side and pointing into the disk drive (Figure 6). Be certain that the
write-protect tab is closed on the disk (Figure 7). Insert a patient data disk
firmly into the disk drive on the right side of the PRM until the disk ejection
button protrudes.
NOTE: Refer to the physicians system manual for complete instructions
on using the patient data disk.
Figure 6. Disk drive on the right side of the PRM.
Caring for Disks
Floppy disks can be damaged easily, making them unusable. To prevent
damage to the disks, observe the following:
Write on labels before applying them to disks.
Use only a felt-tipped pen to write on a label that is already applied to
a disk.
Keep food and beverages away from disks and away from the PRM.
Keep disks away from heat or direct sunlight. Disks should be stored
at temperatures between 5° and 60°C (41°-140°F).
Keep disks dry and stored in a dry area (relative humidity between 8%
and 80%).
Do not bend disks.
Do not attach paper clips, staples, or rubber bands to disks.
Do not try to open the sliding shutter that covers the disks (Figure 7).
Never touch the exposed disk area beneath the sliding shutter.
NOTE: The write-protect tab must be closed in order to record data to the
disk and to print reports. If data cannot be recorded to the disk, check to
see that the tab is positioned to cover the hole (Figure 7).
