Cleaning and care
Safety precautions
Warnings
• Disconnect equipment from power line before cleaning
• If liquid has accidentally entered the system or its parts,
disconnect the power cord from the power supply and have the
equipment serviced by authorized service personnel.
• Regular preventive maintenance should be carried out annually.
• Do not use unspecified cleaners, materials or chemicals as they
may damage device surfaces, labels, or cause equipment
failures.
• Do not pour or spray any liquid directly on cables or leadwires or
permit fluid to seep into connections or openings.
• Never use conductive solutions, solutions that contain wax, or
wax compounds to clean devices, cables or leadwires.
• Do not immerse any part of the device in liquids or allow liquid to
enter the interior.
• The decision to sterilize must be made per your institution’s
requirements with an awareness of the effect on the integrity of
the cable or leadwire.
• Clean the surface of the probe before and after each patient use.
• CABLE/SENSOR AFTER CARE
− Do not immerse sensors or patient cables in water, solvents
or cleaning solutions.
− Do not reuse sensors intended for single patient use.
− Do not sterilize sensors or patient cables by irradiation,
steam, or ethylene oxide.
− Clean the surface of the probe before and after each patient
use.
− Allow sensor and cable to dry completely after cleaning.
Moisture and dirt on the connector can affect the
measurement accuracy.
− If a probe is damaged in any way, discontinue use
immediately.
− Inaccurate SpO

data can result if a sensor is past its useful
life.
− A damaged sensor or a sensor soaked in liquid may cause
burns during electrosurgery.
• Since calibration gas contains anesthetic agents, always ensure
sufficient ventilation of the room during calibration.
• Inaccurate readings due to:
− use of unapproved accessories
− reuse of single-use accessories
− affect on pressure strong scavenging suction
• The user may only perform maintenance procedures specifically
described in this manual.
• On the gas module indicates that airway gases should be
calibrated every six months in normal use and every two months
in continuous use.
• Do not autoclave any part of the system with steam or sterilize
with ethylene oxide.
