NBP Cuff
Wipe the NBP cuff with a cloth moistened with soap and water or a solution based on
household bleach (1:10), alcohol, or phenol.
Temperature probes and cables
z Do not use excessive pressure or flex the cables as this can stretch the
covering and break the internal wires
z Clean the probes with a 3% hydrogen peroxide or 70% alcohol
z Quickly immerse the cables in a detergent solution
z Make sure the probe’s tip is firmly connected.
CAUTION: The NBP cuff can be immersed in cleaning solution, but do not allow the
solution to enter the NBP hose. Warranty claims can be forfeited if cleaning solution is
allowed to enter the hose or the cuff.
CAUTION:
z Do not use phenol disinfectants because vinyl absorbs them. Do not use strong
aromatic, chlorinated, ketone, ether or ester solvents. Do not immerse the
cables for any prolonged period in alcohol, mild organic solvents, or highly
alkaline solutions.
z Never boil or autoclave the cable. Vinyl withstands temperatures up to 100 °C
but begins to soften at around 90 °C. Handle gently when hot and wipe away
from the tip toward the cable.
