WARNING! VHM Arm contains a strong spring which is used to counterbalance the weight of the mounted

device. The Arm housing should never be disassembled by non-GCX personnel. The mounted device
should only be removed with the Arm Locking Knob engaged. Failure to follow these guidelines could result
in serious injury. Refer to Installation & Operation Manual for VHM Series Arms" (DU-WS-0001) for further
information about the VHM Arm.

Before mounting the Arm:

1. Note that this arm has a wide range of motion both up/down and side to side. Please consider carefully the device
being mounted and the proximity of the assembly to other equipment, hospital personnel, and the patient. GCX
recommends that the hospital’s risk management personnel verify the appropriateness of the application prior to
installation and use.

2. If assistance is needed regarding an application, please contact a GCX product specialist at [phone].

Routine Maintenance

Periodically inspect all fasteners associated with the mounting system. Tighten as necessary for optimal operation and
safety.

Cleaning the Mounting Assembly

1. The mounting assembly may be cleaned with most mild, non-abrasive solutions commonly used in the hospital
environment (e.g. diluted bleach, ammonia, or alcohol solutions).

2. The surface finish will be permanently damaged by strong chemicals and solvents such as acetone and
trichloroethylene.

3. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive material to clean the mounting assembly.

4. Damage caused by the use of unapproved substances or processes will not be covered by warranty. We recommend
testing of any cleaning solution on a small area of the mounting assembly that is not visible to verify compatibility.

5. Never submerge the roll stand or allow liquids to enter the mounting assemblies. Wipe any cleaning agents off the
mounting assembly immediately using a water-dampened cloth. Dry all mounting assemblies thoroughly after cleaning.

CAUTION: GCX makes no claims regarding the efficacy of the listed chemicals or processes as a means for controlling
infection. Consult your hospital’s infection control officer or epidemiologist. To clean or sterilize mounted instruments or
accessory equipment, refer to the specific instructions delivered with those products.
