3.2. Protection, cleaning and washing
OMRON M24/7 ambulatory blood pressure monitors are not specially protected against spills or ingression of water or other liquids. Do not immerse the monitor in water or any cleaning uid, and protect it from spills and splashes. Do not expose it to heavy rain or steam, and do not wear it in a wet environment e.g: shower, bath, or swimming pool. In case of the minor effects of a wet environment, wipe off water drops with a dry cloth. Keep the monitor in a normal dry room for at least one hour before use if condensation is suspected. In case of ingress of water in the monitor, remove batteries from the unit, and refer the unit to authorized service. Never place a monitor unit in a disinfecting or sterilizing machine! Recommended cleaning method is to wipe the monitor with a disinfectant cleaning tissue, e.g., Henkel Ecolab Incides, or a similar product. Alternatively, wipe with a slightly damp cloth then dry it with an antistatic tissue. Do not expose monitors to extreme heat or radiation, including long exposure to direct strong sunlight.
To wash the cuff please do the following:
1.Remove the bladder.
2.Wash by hand the sleeve with lukewarm water and regular washing liquid suitable for black material. Rinse well.
3.If required, wipe the bladder with a disinfectant cleaning tissue.
4.Allow both bladder and sleeve to air dry.
5.Replace bladder in the sleeve.
