Proper cleaning and maintenance of your CONNEQT Pulse are essential to ensure accurate readings, extend the device’s lifespan, and keep it in excellent working condition. Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning and maintaining your device:
Cleaning Your Pulse
1. Cleaning the Monitor
- Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe down the monitor.
- Avoid using abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, or cleaning agents that could damage the screen or casing.
2. Cleaning the Cuff
- Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the outer surface of the cuff.
- Dry the cuff thoroughly with a clean, soft towel before storing it or using it again.
3. What to Avoid
- Do Not Submerge: Never immerse the monitor or cuff in water, as this could damage the internal components.
- No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid bleach, alcohol-based cleaners, or other corrosive substances that may degrade the materials.
Maintaining Your Pulse
1. Store Properly
- Keep the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures.
- Use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent scratches or physical damage during storage.
2. Inspect the Cuff
- Regularly check the cuff for signs of wear, such as cracks or leaks. Replace it if necessary to maintain accurate readings.
3. Charge the Battery
- Keep the battery charged by using the provided USB cable. Avoid letting the battery drain completely for extended periods, as this can reduce its lifespan.
4. Firmware Updates
- Check the CONNEQT App for firmware updates to ensure your device is running the latest version with optimized performance.
Recommended Cleaning Schedule
- After Each Use: Wipe down the cuff, especially if used on bare skin or in warm conditions.
