Batteries and Charging
The Osstell ISQ instrument must be charged using only the Osstell ISQ power supply. The charger
should be used in indoor dry locations. The instrument contains a Lithium battery. The battery
symbol displays the approximate status of the batteries. A filled symbol indicates batteries are at
100% capacity.
If the battery is completely discharged, the recharge process requires approximately three hours,
depending on the room temperature. (Charging the battery in warm environments may require a
longer charging duration.) The power supply operates with mains voltage from 100 to 240 VAC,
50-60 Hz. Thus it can be used in most countries in the world using the appropriate mains adapter.
Battery charging is indicated by a flashing blue LED.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before each use, parts in contact with the patient (Probe, Probe Cable and SmartPeg Mount) should
be cleaned and sterilized by autoclaving or covered with sterile draping. If needed, the instrument
may be cleaned using water or an isopropyl alcohol solution. Do not use other cleaning fluids as they
can damage the top cover of the instrument. The instru¬ment does not require regular maintenance.
In the event of an instrument malfunction, the Osstell ISQ and accessories should be sent to the
manufacturer for repair.
The probe, probe cable and SmartPeg Mount may be autoclaved (over-pressurized steam, up to 135
deg C). The SmartPeg is disposable and should be discarded after use. The SmartPeg is available with
different connection geometries to fit all major implant products on the market.

Computer connection
PC installation (fig 5-11)
When the instrument is connected to a PC, it is possible to upgrade the instrument firmware and/
or download measurement data from the instrument to the computer. To download data from the
instrument, the computer software "ISQ Data Manager" is needed. To install the instrument on
a computer, you will need the Osstell ISQ drivers. The drivers can be found on the CD that came
together with the Osstell ISQ instrument. It is also possible to download from www.osstell.com.
Connect the instrument to one of the USB ports in the computer. Use the cable that was included in
the kit. If the instrument is connected for the first time, the computer should automatically start the
Windows' installation guide. Select the driver location when the guide is asking for it (Either the CD
or a place where you have stored the downloaded driver).
