3.1 Cleaning
Cleaning and Disinfecting Procedure
The stethoscope and CORE should be cleaned between each
patient use. All cleaning instructions pertaining to the original
stethoscope apply.
Under normal conditions it is unnecessary to remove CORE from
the stethoscope tubing for cleaning. All external parts of the
hardware can be cleaned with 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes.
NOTE: DO NOT immerse the device in any liquid or subject it to
any high-pressure/autoclave sterilization processes.
If it becomes necessary to remove CORE, pull the stethoscope
tubing off of the metal stem on both ends of the device. Wipe
all parts of the stethoscope clean with 70% isopropyl alcohol
wipes including CORE’s surface, stethoscope tubing, tubing
connector, and chest piece. Reassemble the stethoscope by
reinserting the metal stems into the stethoscope tubing as
before.
