INTRODUCTION
This section describes:
• Care and cleaning procedures
• Routine maintenance.
6.1 CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS SHALL BE OBSERVED TO PREVENT
CONTACT WITH BLOOD OR OTHER POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS
MATERIALS. PLACE CONTAMINATED MATERIALS IN REGULATED
WASTE CONTAINER.
Cleaning the Monitor and Digital Signal Converter
Clean any spillage of blood or solutions on either the monitor or Digital Signal Converter
as soon as possible. Dried blood is very difficult to remove. Use lint-free absorbent
towels for spill cleanups. Dampen the towel with detergent and lukewarm water to aid in
cleaning. After cleaning, wipe the PIC connector end with alcohol and allow to dry
completely. Residual moisture inside the connector may affect DSC performance.
Disinfecting the Monitor and Digital Signal Converter
Use lint-free absorbent towels dampened with a 10% bleach solution, or a commercial
disinfectant (e.g. Lysol Professional Disinfectant Foam Cleaner Spray or PDI Germicidal
Disposable Wipes).
After cleaning, dry all areas except the monitor display screen (see below) with a lint-free
absorbent paper towel. Wipe the PIC and DSC pigtail connector ends with alcohol and
allow to dry completely.
WARNING!
WHENEVER AN EVENT SUCH AS SPILLAGE OF BLOOD OR
SOLUTIONS OCCURS, RE-TEST GROUND LEAKAGE CURRENT
BEFORE FURTHER USE.
DO NOT MIX DISINFECTING SOLUTIONS (e.g., BLEACH AND
AMMONIA) AS HAZARDOUS GASES MAY RESULT.
