5.1 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 BISx
Clean any spillage of blood or solutions on either the monitor or BISx 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 ends with alcohol and allow to dry completely. Residual moisture
inside the connector may affect BISx performance.
Disinfecting the Monitor and BISx
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 BISx and PIC connector ends with alcohol and allow to dry
completely.
WARNING:
WHENEVER AN EVENT SUCH AS SPILLAGE OF BLOOD OR
SOLUTIONS OCCURS, RE-TEST LEAKAGE CURRENT BEFORE
FURTHER USE.
DO NOT MIX DISINFECTING SOLUTIONS (e.g., BLEACH AND
AMMONIA) AS HAZARDOUS GASES MAY RESULT.
