Chapter 4: Maintenance, Storage, & Troubleshooting
4Maintenance, Storage
& Troubleshooting
General Maintenance
Maintenance that should be performed on the PachPen consists of activities such
as keeping surfaces free of dust and dirt and storing in a dry and cool place so as
to not adversely affect electronic parts.
Refer to pages 4 and 5 for details on disinfection and cleaning before doing any
disinfection or cleaning of the PachPen.
CAUTION: NO ABRASIVES OR HARSH CLEANING SOLUTIONS SHOULD BE USED WHILE
CLEANING THE PACHPEN.
Note: The unit does not contain any user replaceable parts other than the
battery.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Clean the PachPen Pachymeter by wiping everything except the tip with a clean
lint-free, nonabrasive cloth and alcohol.
Clean the PachPen Pachymeter tip by dipping only the rst ¼” of the tip into alcohol
or in an ultrasonic cleaner and allowing it to air-dry.
Do not drop the device. Avoid any shock or excessive vibration as this may
damage the unit.
Do not immerse the device in any fluid. This will damage the electronics and
invalidate the warranty.
Note: See chapter 3 for battery specification and installation.
Battery Disposal
Follow the procedure outlined below for proper disposal of lithium batteries.
Instructions for Disposal
1. Guidelines for the disposal of lithium batteries are continually under review.
Waste-management companies can provide assistance in the disposal of
these cells and batteries.
2. Disposal should be done in accordance with applicable regulations, which
vary from country to country. In most countries, trashing of used batteries
is forbidden and disposal can be done through nonprot organizations
mandated by local authorities or organized by professionals.
3. Cells and batteries should not be incinerated unless suitable procedures
are followed and appropriate precautions have been taken by qualied
handlers. Exposure of these cells to high temperatures or re can cause
them to vent and/or rupture.

(800) 979-2020 US & CA • (610) 889-0200 International • +31 (0) 485-350300 Europe • www.accutome.com 13
4. Used batteries should be shipped with the same regulations as those for
new lithium/thionyl chloride batteries.
5. Accutome recommends that cells and batteries for disposal should be
collected, transported, and disposed of in a manner that will prevent short-
circuit (the terminals taped).
6. Handling of used cells and batteries should be done according to the safety
instructions of fresh cells.
7. Recycling of the cells and batteries should be done in authorized facilities,
through a licensed waste carrier. A recycler in the United States is listed
below.
Disposal in Europe
The European Community (EC) has issued two directives; 91/157/EEC and 93/86/
EEC. These directives are implemented by each member country in a different way.
Thus, in each country, the manufacturers, importers, and users are responsible for
proper disposal or recycling.
In accordance with these directives, the PachPen Lithium cells do not contain
dangerous substances. The reaction products are inorganic and do not represent
environmental hazards, once the decomposition or neutralization process has
terminated.
Disposal in the United States.
Lithium batteries are neither specically listed nor exempted from the federal
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous waste regulations, as conveyed
by the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The only metal of
possible concern in the cell is the lithium metal that is not listed or characterized
as a toxic hazardous waste. Signicant amount of spent cells and batteries that are
untreated and not fully discharged are considered as reactive hazardous waste.
Thus, hazardous waste of spent cells and batteries can be disposed of after they
are rst neutralized through an approved secondary treatment prior to disposal
(as required by U.S. Land Ban Restriction of the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984).
Disposal of spent batteries should be performed by an authorized, professional
disposal company that is familiar with the requirements of the federal, state, and
local authorities regarding hazardous materials, transportation, and waste disposal.
In any case, it is recommended that you contact your local EPA office.
