Cleaning and Low-Level Disinfection
The reusable sensors should be cleaned and disinfected, but never
sterilized. Follow the procedure outlined below.
Warnings
• Use only validated cleaning agents and disinfectants listed below; do
not use any others. Failure to do so may damage the sensor or its con-
necting wires and shorten product lifetime or cause safety hazards.
• Select disinfectants carefully as some have very similar names but
completely different compositions.
• Do not immerse the sensor connector in any of the cleaning solutions,
disinfectant, or other liquid (only the sensor and cable housing may be
immersed, not
the connector).
• Do not soak sensors in disinfectants longer than specified by the dis-
infectant manufacturer.
• Do not sterilize the sensors.
