Maintenance: Disposal of Product Waste
4. After cleaning, rinse the transducer thoroughly in distilled water and replace the
dome loosely.
5. Dry the transducer with sterile gauze.
CAUTIONS
AUTOCLAVE—Do not autoclave pressure transducer.
IMMERSION—Do not immerse any part of the electrical
connector of the transducer in the cleaning solution at any time.
Examine the outer sheath of the cable for perforations. If the outer
covering is damaged in any way, do not immerse the cable in the
cleaning solution; this may result in moisture entering the
transducer case, which is vented through the cable.
WARNING
LIQUIDS—If liquids enter the electrical connector, check the
resistance between the electrical element and the transducer case.
A resistance level of greater than 10 M¾ ensures that the leakage
current is within acceptable levels for safe use on patients.
6. Leave transparent dome attached to the transducer during storage, but slacken
the locking ring at least one quarter of a turn.
CAUTION
STERILIZATION—Prior to patient use, ensure the dome is
sterile.
Disposal of Product Waste
As you use the 250 Series monitor, you will accumulate solid wastes that require
proper disposal or recycling. These include patient applied parts and packaging
material.
Patient Applied Parts
Certain patient applied parts, such as those with adhesive (disposable SpO
2
sensors), are
intended for single use and should be disposed of properly as medical waste in
accordance with regional body controlled guideline.
Other patient applied parts, such as blood pressure cuffs, should be cleaned
according to instructions. Inspect reusable applied parts for wear, replace as
necessary, and dispose of used product as medical waste in accordance with regional
body controlled guideline.
