The SWIVO should have a periodic inspection performed by a competent person at least once every 12 months, after any exceptional event(s), or if there is any doubt about the condition of the product. For each inspection, CMC recommends the Periodic PPE Inspection Form be completed, signed and archived for the life of the product. In case of retirement, be sure to render the device useless before disposal to prevent further use.
Provided below are the PPE inspection documents including the Periodic PPE Inspection Procedure and Periodic PPE Inspection Form. These documents offer guidance for performing a detailed inspection. Visit the SWIVO product page for the latest version of the User Manual for reference during inspection.
The materials provided here are not exhaustive. Inspection by a competent person is required. See the PPE homepage for more information on being a “competent person”.
