After exposure to nitrous oxide mixtures, the sensor should be left in 100% oxygen overnight (e.g., left in a breathing circuit that has been flushed with pure oxygen). If this is not practical, when using the Tee, remove the plastic flow diverter and leave the sensor in room air. If the oxygen reading continues to drop after each use in nitrous oxide the sensor should be removed from service. If the sensor can no longer be calibrated or if there is any sign of electrolyte leakage, the sensor should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Contact Teledyne for the Material Safety Data Sheet.
2.3.6 Cleaning
The instruction below describes the methods to clean and disinfect the instrument, sensor and its accessories (e.g. diverter, tee adapter).
Instrument
When cleaning or disinfecting the instrument, care must be taken to prevent entry of solutions into the instrument’s case.
•Cleaning- The external surfaces of the oxygen sensor and of the cable may be cleaned by wiping them with a cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution.
•Disinfecting – The diverter and tee adapter may be disinfected by washing them with isopropyl alcohol.
Sensor & Cable
•Cleaning – The external surfaces of the oxygen sensor and of the cable may e cleaned by wiping them with a cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution.
•Disinfecting – The diverter and tee adapter may be disinfected by washing them with isopropyl alcohol or Cidex (per manufacturer’s instructions). The parts must be thoroughly dry before they are used.
•Sterilizing – The diverter and tee adapter may be sterilized using Cidex, steam or ethylene oxide (per
