Precautions about the Pacemaker
WARNING
Minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can
occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic
equipment, causing the pacemakers to pace at their maximum
programmed rate. The cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment
may possibly send wrong information.
If such event occurs, please disconnect the cardiac monitoring and
diagnostic equipment, or follow the procedures described in the
operation manual of the pacemaker.
(For more details, contact FUKUDA DENSHI personnel, your
institution’s professionals, or your pacemaker distributors.)
Reference
“Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers”
FDA alerts health professionals that minute ventilation rate-adaptive
implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac
monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing pacemakers to pace at their
maximum programmed rate.
[October 14, 1998 (Letter: www .fda.gov/cdrh/safety.html) – FDA]
ECG meter may continue to count the pacemaker rate during
occurrences of cardiac arrest or arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon
the ECG meter alarms. Keep pacemaker patients under close
surveillance. Check this manual for disclosure of the pacemaker pulse
rejection capability of this instrument.
Precautions about the LX-7230
WARNING
Do not connect cables not authorized by Fukuda Denshi to any I/O
connector. If done so by mistake, the LX-7230 cannot deliver its
maximum performance and may be damaged, resulting in a safety
hazard.
Do not use this device with multiple patients simultaneously.
CAUTION
Do not pick up and/or swing the LX-7230 pulling/grabbing the probe
(sensor) or cord part. The cable could break or get disconnected from the
LX-7230. And it may hit people or damage other equipment around.
vi
![](/img.php?id=1389401&img=bg9.png)
Precautions about Waterproof
CAUTION
Replace the “Battery Compartment Lid” of the LX-7230 regularly to keep
the main unit performance of waterproof. If not regularly replaced, the
quality of the lid will deteriorate and cannot keep the waterproof
performance. For details about the regular replacement, contact your
local Fukuda Denshi service representative.
The lid may be damaged from high impact. If the LX-7230 is dropped or
is subjected to a high impact, make sure that the lid is not damaged.
However, the SpO2 probes (sensors/relay cables) are not waterproof.
Do not take a bath with them, and ensure to be away from liquid.
Do not use the LX-7230 wet. Always wipe the LX-7230 with a soft cloth
and dry it thoroughly before use.
Precautions about ECG
CAUTION
When removing electrodes from the patient, remove them carefully and
slowly. Do not apply excessive force to remove them. Otherwise, it may
damage the skin.
There are some cases when the pacemaker pulse cannot be detected
depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width, electrode
lead type (unipolar, bipolar), electrode placement, or lead method which
causes the pacemaker pulse amplitude to decrease and disables
pacemaker pulse detection.
If signals similar to a pacemaker pulse are present, such as electric
blanket noise or excessive AC frequency noise, these may be
erroneously detected and displayed as a pacemaker pulse. In this case,
check the condition of the electrodes and ECG lead cable to resolve the
cause or turn off the pacemaker detection setting on the receiving
monitor.
vii
![](/img.php?id=1389401&img=bga.png)
Precautions about SpO2
WARNING
During SpO2 monitoring, always use the probe (sensor)/relay cable
specified by Fukuda Denshi. If any other probe (sensor)/relay cable is
used, a high temperature rise of the probe (sensor) may place the
patient in danger of burns in the worst case.
When the SpO2 probe (sensor) is in a connector-off condition, the SpO2
alarm will not be generated on the receiving monitor. Make sure that the
SpO2 probe (sensor)/ relay cable is securely connected. If the SpO2
waveform/numeric data is not displayed, check the patient’s condition
and pay attention not to miss the connector-off condition.
When measuring the SpO2 of a patient with high fever or peripheral
circulatory insufficiency, check the probe (sensor) attachment
periodically and change the attachment site. The temperature of the
attachment site will rise 2 to 3C due to the sensor heat which may
result in compression necrosis and burn injury.
Even a short duration of attachment may inhibit the blood flow and
generate compression necrosis and burn injury.
When securing the probe (sensor) with tape, do not apply the tape too
tight. At the same time, check the blood flow constantly so that
congestion is not generated at the peripheral. When removing the tape,
remove it slowly with care not to damage the patient’s skin.
CAUTION
For the following case, accurate measurement may not be possible.
Patient with excessive abnormal hemoglobin (COHb, MetHb)
Patient with the pigment injected to the blood
Patient receiving CPR treatment
Placement of SpO2 probe (sensor) on limb with a blood-pressure cuff,
arterial catheter, or intravascular line
When measuring at placement position with venous pulse
Patient with body motion
Patient with small pulse
Excessive body motion (patient’s motion)
Excessive light (direct sunlight, fluorescent, light therapy equipment,
surgical light, infrared heat ramp, etc.)
External colorant such as nail polish
Abnormally low or high hemoglobin concentration
Electrosurgery
Influence of electromagnetic waves from other electronics devices
High-intensity radio waves from cell phone

![](/img.php?id=1389401&img=bgb.png)
Precautions about Output Signal
WARNING
Do not use the output signal of the monitor that receives radio wave signal
from the LX-7230 as the trigger signal for IABP, MRI echocardiographic, or
defibrillator for the following reasons.
It may lead to a delay of operating timing due to the delay time of
waveform transmission.
A trigger signal unrelated to the heart rate may be generated due to
the interfusion of spike noise at weak electric field.
Precautions about Accessories and Optional Accessories
WARNING
Use only the accessories, such as ECG Lead cable and SpO2 probe
(sensor)/ relay cable, specified by Fukuda Denshi for the LX-7230.
Otherwise, the LX-7230 cannot deliver its maximum performance and may
be damaged, resulting in a safety hazard.

receiver antenna as required.
For management, make sure to follow the precautions below.
The Institution should appoint a person (hereinafter referred to as the
“Overall Manager”) to manage the wireless channels for the whole
Institution.
And when using telemetry, which requires zone location, the Institution
should nominate a person (hereinafter referred to as the “Zone Manager”)
to manage the wireless channels in each zone. However, when using such
telemetry in a local Institution, one person can perform both functions.
The Overall Manager and Zone Manager must be selected from people
who understand the characteristics and functionality of telemetry systems,
and are skilled in operating telemetry.
When installing telemetry, the Overall Manager and the Zone Manager
have to understand the precautions for use of telemetry in advance.
The Overall Manager is responsible for maintenance of wireless channel
and storage and maintenance of telemeter in the overall medical facilities
to give proper instructions to the Zone Manager when using telemetry
needing zone alignment, and to the telemetry user when using telemetry
not-needing zone alignment.
The Overall Manager should create a management log (hereinafter
referred to as the “log”), which contains a list of the management status of
the wireless channels for the whole Institution. When changing a wireless
channel, register it in the log and give proper instructions to the Zone
Manager or to the user.
The Zone Manager assumes responsibility for managing the wireless
channels, storing, and managing telemetry.
The Zone Manager assigns the transmitter to the user, and provides
enough education for use inside the zone.
The telemetry user verifies operation of the transmitter/receiver before
use.
The telemetry user, if using the telemetry in a zone location, follows the
instructions of the Zone Manager for the zone and gives instructions to the
patient if required.
When interference or breakdown occurs in telemetry communication, the
user is required to inform the Zone Manager and the Overall Manager of
the problems. The Zone Manager and Overall Manager are to deal with
the problem properly and/or contact their nearest Fukuda Denshi
representative for service.

1. General Description
The LX-7230 is a radio telemetry transmitter designed to measure the ECG,
respiration waveform, SpO2 (arterial oxygen saturation), pulse waveform with
two “AA” size (“LR06” size) alkaline batteries.
Information such as ECG measurements, respiration waveform, SpO2
measurements, pulse waveform, battery level, and the conditions of the ECG
electrodes and SpO2 probe (sensor) are displayed on the LCD of the front
panel.
ECG lead selection is available using the two buttons (Enter and ▽) on the
front panel. (In case of using a 3-electrode lead cable or a 5-electrode chest
lead cable)
The LX-7230 can also function as a transmitter to measure only the
ECG/Respiration without SpO2 or to measure only the SpO2 without
ECG/Respiration.
Before using the LX-7230, read also the operation manual of the patient
monitor at the receiving side thoroughly.
There are two types of transmitters depending on the SpO2 Module, which is

■ Attaching the Electrodes
CAUTION
Always use the same type of electrodes. If different types of electrodes are
used at the same time, the difference between the polarization potential
from each electrode may interfere with monitoring.
CAUTION
Do not reuse the disposable electrodes. It is intended for single patent use
only.
Clean the electrode sites with alcohol wipes
or other skin preparation. If necessary, shave
the electrode sites to remove excessive hair.
Peel off the disposable electrode.
Pay attention not to touch the electrode gel.
Attach the lead cable end to the electrode
(convex part).
Turn right and left to verify that it is securely
attached.

4. ECG Monitoring
14
CAUTION
There are some cases when pacemaker pulse cannot be detected
depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width, electrode
lead type (unipolar, bipolar), electrode placement, or lead method which
causes the pacemaker pulse amplitude to decrease and disables
pacemaker pulse detection.
If signals similar to a pacemaker pulse are present, such as electric
blanket noise or excessive AC frequency noise, these may be
erroneously detected and displayed as a pacemaker pulse. In this case,
check the condition of the electrodes and ECG lead cable to resolve the
cause or turn off the pacemaker detection setting on the receiving
monitor.
Time constant of this device is shorter than Fukuda Denshi monitors
(direct ECG connection). Therefore, there is a difference in the ST
measurement value between them. Pay attention to the difference
when monitoring a patient from a transmitter or a monitor.
When an electrode is attached on the same location for a long time,
some patients may develop skin irritation. Check the patient’s skin
condition periodically and change the electrode position as required.
The indication for continuous use of an electrode is about one day.
Replace the electrode if the skin contact gets loosen due to perspiring,
etc.
Make sure to use new disposable electrodes. Otherwise, the waveform
quality may become poor and it may fail to perform correct monitoring.
When “Check Electrode” message is displayed on the screen of the
receiving monitor or the LCD of this device, check the condition of the
electrodes and ECG lead cable to resolve the cause.
When removing electrodes from the patient, remove them carefully and
slowly. Do not apply excessive force to remove them. Otherwise, it may
damage the skin.
It may not perform a correct measurement due to the attached position
of the electrodes. Attach the electrodes on the patient referring to page
10 and 11 and make sure that the correct waveform is measured on the
LCD.

5. Respiration Monitoring
Follow the preparation of “4.ECG Monitoring” to allow the respiration
monitoring.
This respiration monitoring is performed with impedance method.
The ECG electrodes are also used for detecting the respiration. Each lead
cable specifies the electrodes to detect the respiration. For 3-electrode and 5-
electrode (chest) lead cable, the electrodes to detect the respiration are fixed
as follows. Even if lead method is switched, they are no changes.
Lead Cable Color of Electrode
3-electrode White (RA) and Red (LL)
4-electrode White (RA) and Red (LL)
5-electrode (Chest) White (RA) and Red (LL)
WARNING
Minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally
interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing
the pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. The cardiac
monitoring and diagnostic equipment may possibly send wrong
information.
If such event occurs, please disconnect the cardiac monitoring and
diagnostic equipment, or follow the procedures described in the operation
manual of the pacemaker.
(For more details, contact FUKUDA DENSHI personnel, your institution’s
professionals, or your pacemaker distributors.)
Reference
“Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers”
FDA alerts health professionals that minute ventilation rate-adaptive
implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac
monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing pacemakers to pace at their
maximum programmed rate.
[October 14, 1998 (Letter: www .fda.gov/cdrh/safety.html) - FDA]
CAUTION
Even if the electrodes are attached on the proper positions for ECG
monitoring, it may not be always the proper ones for respiration
monitoring as well.
When a defibrillator is used during respiration monitoring, a large offset
voltage will be placed on the ECG electrodes, which may cause
interruption of monitoring for a few seconds.

SpO2.
WARNING
When the SpO2 probe (sensor) is in a connector-off condition, the SpO2
alarm will not be generated on the receiving monitor. Make sure that the
SpO2 probe (sensor)/ relay cable is securely connected. If the SpO2
waveform/numeric data is not displayed, check the patient’s condition and
pay attention not to miss the connector-off condition.
CAUTION
When using the transmitter with only the SpO2 sensor cable, ECG and
respiration measurements on the receiving monitor shall be turned off to
prevent an erroneous alarm.
There are varieties of SpO2 sensors depending on the purpose and intended
use for LX-7230N and LX-7230KM. Select a proper one and attach it to the
patient.
CAUTION

■ Applying the OxiMax® MAX-I sensor
This Nellcor® adhesive sensor, model MAX-I, is indicated for continuous
noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring and can be
reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive tape attaches without
slippage.
1. Remove the plastic backing from the MAX-I and locate the two transparent
windows on the adhesive side. Windows cover optical components. Note
the corresponding alignment marks (a) on the non-adhesive side and the
dashed line (b) midway between the marks (Figure (1)).
The big toe is the preferred MAX-I location. Alternatively, apply the sensor
to another digit of similar size, for example, the thumb.
NOTE
When selecting the sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free
of an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
2. Orient the MAX-I so that the window next to the cable is aligned on the
bottom of the big toe as shown. The cable should extend towards the heel
(Figure (2)).
3. Wrap the MAX-I firmly, but not too tightly around the toe. Windows must
oppose each other for correct measurement (Figure (3)).
4. Wrap any excess tape loosely around the toe. Use additional tape
provided to secure the cable across the bottom of the foot, loosely enough
to maintain good circulation (Figure (4)).
5. Connect the MAX-I into the LX-7230N. Verify proper operation as
described in the operation manual.
(1) (2) (3) (4)
NOTE
If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly
positioned – or the sensor site may be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented,
or otherwise deeply colored (for example, as a result of externally applied
coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream) to permit appropriate
light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, reposition the sensor or
choose an alternate Nellcor sensor to use on a different site.

Reapplication
1. The MAX-I can be reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive
tape attaches without slippage.
2. Enclosed adhesive “dots” are provided for reapplication. Place a
transparent dot over each window as shown, and then remove the
protective paper that covers each dot (Figure (5)). The sensor is now ready
to be reapplied to the same patient. For the reapplication, do not remove
the previous adhesive dot, but place the enclosed adhesive dot over it.
(5)
CAUTION
Precautions for Use of adhesive sensor, MAX-I
Do not reuse the sensor on other patients. This is a sterilized product
and it is intended for single patient use only.
Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. The
site must be inspected every 8 hours to ensure adhesion, skin
integrity, and correct optical alignment. If skin integrity changes, move
the sensor to another site
Do not use the sensor on patients who exhibit allergic reactions to the
adhesive tape.
Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect
measurements.
While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases,
cover the sensor with an opaque material.
If the sensor is wrapped too tightly or supplemental tape is applied,
venous pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.
Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to
keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less
motion.
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish,
dye, or pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device.
In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make
sure to check whether the packaging and product is cracked or
damaged before use. If there is any damage.
Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize.
For additional warnings, cautions or contraindications when using
sensors with Nellcor-compatible device, refer to each SpO2 sensor

Do not apply the sensor on the thumb or toe. It may cause incorrect
measurements.
Do not use the sensor for long-term monitoring.
Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely.
Reusable sensors must be moved to a new site at least every 4 hours.
Because individual skin condition affects the ability of the skin to
tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor
site more frequently with some patients. If skin integrity changes,
move the sensor to another site. If long-term monitoring is required,
use an OxiMax ® sensor (MAX-A, MAX-AL, or MAX-N).
Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect
measurements.
While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases,
cover the sensor with an opaque material.
Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous
pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.
Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to
keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less
motion.
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish,
dye, or pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device.
In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make
sure to check whether the packaging and product is cracked or
damaged before use. If there is any damage.
Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize.
For additional warnings, cautions or contraindications when using
sensors with Nellcor-compatible device, refer to each SpO2 sensor

■ Applying the OxiMax® MAX-R sensor
This Nellcor® adhesive sensor, model MAX-R, is indicated for continuous
noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring. The MAX-R
is designed for use only on the nose. Use this sensor when finger pulsatile flow
is inadequate, or monitoring a finger/toe is not possible.
1. Clean the bridge of the patient’s nose with the contents of the enclosed
acetone/alcohol ampule to remove skin oils. Do not allow the
acetone/alcohol solution to get in the patient’s eyes.
2. Remove the plastic backing from the MAX-R and locate the transparent
windows on the adhesive side. Windows cover optical components. Note
the corresponding alignment marks on the non-adhesive side (a) and the
dashed center line (b) midway between the marks (Figure (1)).
3. Orient the MAX-R so that the dashed line is centered on the nose (a) and
the alignment marks are at the bone-cartilage junction (b). The cable
should extend toward the patient’s right side (Figure (2)).
4. Press the MAX-R firmly onto the nose and hold in place for 10 seconds to
ensure adhesion (Figure (3)). The MAX-R must be secured firmly for
proper operation.
5. As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.

1200 to 1279
1300 to 1379
1100 Yes
Group ID One from 00 to 63 00 Yes
■ Changing the Time Constant
The default setting of the time constant is “0.4 seconds”.
If a stable monitoring is difficult with excessive change in the baseline due to
excessive body motion of the patient or an interference noise, such as AC
frequency, by changing the time constant to “0.1 second” the monitoring may
become relatively stable.
For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.
CAUTION
When changing the time constant to “0.1 seconds”, the lower frequency
characteristic becomes 1.6Hz ±25%. This setup does not meet IEC
60601-2-27 standard. It may lead to a change in the ECG waveform and
ST measurement value may be especially affected. Fukuda Denshi
recommends “0.4 seconds” setting in normal use.
The LCD screen in normal use does not indicate the selection of time
constant. Make sure to take measures, such as marking on the LX-
7230, to distinguish whether the selection of time constant is changed.
![](/img.php?id=1389401&img=bg54.png)
9. Other Setting Items
64
■ Changing the Detection Sensitivity of the Pacemaker Pulse
The default setting of pacemaker pulse detection sensitivity is “Mid”.
The “Mid” setting can detect and reject the following pacemaker pulse
specified in ANSI/AAMI EC13 standard.
Detection/ Rejection of Pacemaker Pulse:
a) Pacemaker Pulse without Over/Undershoot:
Capable to reject pulses of pulse width 0.1 to 2ms,
amplitude ±2 to ±700mV
b) Pacemaker Pulse with Over/Undershoot:
Rejection is not possible.
Fukuda Denshi recommends the “Mid” setting in normal use.
There may be some cases when the pacemaker pulse cannot be detected
depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width, electrode lead
type (unipolar, bipolar). In this case, change the lead or the position of the
electrodes to be able to detect the pacemaker pulse.
Nonetheless, if the detection is still undetectable, change the setting to “High”
in order to increase the detection sensitivity. So that smaller pacemaker pulse
can be detected. However, the “High” setting may lead to erroneous detection
due to interference noise, such as AC frequency.
If erroneous detections occur due to interference noise, such as AC frequency,
turn OFF the setting of the pacemaker pulse detection in the receiving monitor.
If erroneous detections occur due to interference noise, such as AC frequency,
while monitoring a patient with a pacemaker, and the setting of the pacemaker
pulse detection cannot be turned OFF, replace the electrodes or change the
lead to remove the interference noise, such as AC frequency.
Nonetheless, if erroneous detections still occur, change the setting to “Low” in
order to decrease the detection sensitivity. It makes the LX-7230 less likely to
be interfered by the noise, such as AC frequency.
The “Low” setting decreases the detection sensitivity. Therefore, it cannot
detect the pacemaker pulse specified in ANSI/AAMI EC13 standard.
For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.
CAUTION
The LCD screen in normal use does not indicate the setting status of the
pacemaker pulse detection. Make sure to take measures, such as marking
on the LX-7230, to distinguish whether the setting of the pacemaker pulse
detection is changed.

9. Other Setting Items
65
■ Changing the Respiration Detection Signal ON/OFF
The default setting of the respiration detection signal is “ON”.
The respiration waveform can be detected when the setting of the respiration
detection signal is turned “ON”.
WARNING
If the LX-7230 is used with minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable
pacemaker, the respiration detection signal may cause the pacemaker to
pace at its maximum programmed rate. If such event occurs, change the
setting to “OFF” to prevent an occurrence of erroneous pacing rate.
For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.
CAUTION
The respiration waveform cannot be measured if the setting of the
respiration detection signal is turned “OFF”.
Make sure to turn OFF the respiration measurement function on the
receiving monitor to prevent an erroneous detection of the respiration
alarm (on the receiving monitor side).
The LCD screen in normal use does not indicate the setting status of the
respiration detection signal ON/OFF. Make sure to take measures, such
as marking on the LX-7230, to distinguish whether the setting of the
respiration detection signal ON/OFF is changed.
■ Changing the LCD Contrast
The LCD display contrast of the LX-7230 can be changed in 8 steps.
For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.

10. Changing the Transmitter Channel and Group ID
■ Changing the Transmitter Channel
The LX-7230 is a transmitter of PLL synthesizer type, and its transmitter
channel can be programmed. It can be set up with an arbitrary channel among
the channels assigned by the Telemetry Laws (according to each country).
For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.
WARNING
If the transmitter channel is changed, follow the instruction by the
person in charge of the radio telemetry channel in your facility.
Mismanagement may result in a serious accident, such as interference
and mixing up patients.
Replace promptly the new channel label if the transmitter channel has
been changed.
■ Changing the Group ID
The LX-7230 transmits its group ID, which it belongs to, to prevent interference
with neighboring hospital's transmitter.
The receiving monitor checks whether the incoming group ID is the same as
the programmed one that the receiving monitor has. There are 64 group codes
available. The default setting is “00”.
The transmitter group ID can be changed if there is interference with a
neighboring hospital's transmitter,
For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.
CAUTION
Possible causes of interference other than radio telemetry from neighboring
hospital's transmitter, are the proximity of cell phone, amateur radio station,
radio taxi, and illegal citizens band, which may be a cause of interference.
In such a case, the situation should be carefully observed to find the cause
of interference.

13. Maintenance and Inspection
This section explains the daily checks and periodic checks of the LX-7230.
To ensure safety, reliability, and high performance, a “Daily Check” and
“Periodic Check” must be performed. We are not liable for any accident arising
from lack of maintenance.
CAUTION
Do not open the housing or attempt service. The service should be done
by Fukuda Denshi or Fukuda Denshi’s representative.
Do not allow excessive moisture or cleaning agents into the connectors
or inside the equipment.
■ Daily Check
Perform daily checks using the “Daily Check List” on the next page.
■ Periodic Check
Periodic check of medical electronic equipment is mandatory to prevent
failures and accidents and to ensure safety and reliability.
Periodic maintenance may be performed by the medical institution or by a third
party by concluding a “Maintenance Contract”.
For more details, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative.
■ Periodic Replacement Parts
The “Battery Compartment Lid (Waterproof)” is the only periodic
replacement part.
To ensure the reliability of waterproof (IPX8) performance of the LX-7230,
replace it once a year.
You may be able to keep using the LX-7230 without periodic replacement of
the lid. However, as it gets older, the reliability of water resistance (IPX8)
performance will not be ensured.
When replacing the lid, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.
CAUTION
The periodic replacement parts must be replaced at specified period.
