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.
