Cleaning requirements
This section presents procedures for cleaning the Connex Spot Monitor (including the monitor,
stands, APM work surface, accessories, and accessory basket and bins).

devices and above accessories for re-use. Clean on a routine basis according to your facility's
protocols and standards or local regulations. If the monitor is on, lock the display.
