 The ClearSight Finger Cuff is designed for single patient
use only. Do not attempt to clean and reuse the ClearSight
Finger Cuff on more than a single patient.
Cleaning the Patient Cables and Connectors
The patient cables contains electrical and mechanical compo-
nents and is therefore subject to normal use wear and tear.
Visually inspect the cable insulation jacket, strain relief and
connectors before each use. If any of the following conditions
are present, discontinue use of the cable.
• Broken insulation
• Frays
• Connector pins are recessed or bent.
• Connector is chipped and/or cracked.
The patient cables are not protected against fluid ingress. To
clean, wipe the cable with a damp, soft cloth using 10%
bleach and 90%water solution as needed and then air dry the
connector. Please contact Technical Support or your local
Edwards Representative for further assistance.
