7.2 Cleaning
WARNING:
Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the monitoring system, its
accessories, connectors, switches, or openings in the chassis.
WARNING:
Remove batteries from the monitoring system before cleaning.
For surface cleaning and disinfection of the monitoring system, follow institu-
tional procedures or the recommended actions below.
• Surface cleaning — Surface clean the monitoring system by using a soft cloth
dampened with a commercial, nonabrasive cleaner. Lightly wipe the top, bottom,
and front surfaces of the monitoring system lightly.
• Disinfection — Use a soft cloth saturated with a solution of 10% chlorine bleach
in tap water, lightly wiping the surface of the monitoring system.
For sensors, follow cleaning instructions in the directions for use shipped with
those components. Before attempting to clean a Nellcor™ pulse oximetry
sensor, read the Directions for Use enclosed with the sensor. Each sensor
model has cleaning instructions specific to that sensor. Follow the pulse oxim-
etry sensor cleaning and disinfecting procedures in the particular sensor's
Directions for Use.
Avoid spilling liquid on the monitoring system, especially in connector areas,
but if a spill occurs, clean and thoroughly dry the monitoring system before
reuse. If in doubt about monitoring system safety, refer the monitoring system
to a qualified service technician for examination.
