Introduction

Maintaining the accuracy of Koneksa wearable devices throughout clinical studies is critical for ensuring reliable data collection. This guide offers detailed instructions for routine maintenance and calibration to support clinical site coordinators, clinicians, and investigators in preserving device performance and data integrity.

Why Routine Maintenance and Calibration Are Important

Regular maintenance and calibration of your Koneksa wearable devices prevent data discrepancies caused by sensor drift or physical wear. Adhering to recommended schedules ensures consistent device functionality and prolongs device lifespan, ultimately supporting the success of your clinical study.

Materials Needed

• Koneksa wearable devices
• Cleaning materials recommended in the device manual (e.g., lint-free cloth, isopropyl alcohol wipes)
• Manufacturer’s calibration software or tool provided by Koneksa
• Device manuals and study protocol documentation
• Logging tools or maintenance records templates

Step-by-Step Instructions for Routine Maintenance and Calibration

1. Review Maintenance Schedule: Consult your study protocol or device manual to identify the recommended frequency for maintenance and calibration activities.
2. Physical Inspection: Examine each device for signs of damage, wear, or loose components. Report any issues immediately.
3. Cleaning: Use recommended cleaning materials, such as isopropyl alcohol wipes and lint-free cloths, to gently clean sensors and device surfaces, ensuring contaminants do not affect sensor accuracy.
4. Firmware Check and Updates: Verify device firmware versions via the provided application or platform. Update firmware as necessary following manufacturer instructions to ensure optimal device function.
5. Calibration Procedure: Execute device calibration according to instructions in the device manual or Koneksa calibration software. This may involve connecting the device to a computer, running calibration routines, or using specific software tools.
6. Documentation: Record the date, performed maintenance tasks, calibration details, and any anomalies or concerns observed during the process in your maintenance log or study records.
7. Troubleshooting: If you notice calibration drift or other performance issues, repeat calibration or contact Koneksa Clinic Site Support immediately for specialized assistance.
