Use a lens cleaning or microfiber cloth to clean the Sera
TM
touchscreen.
Cradle
The cradle is not required for performing a screening. To avoid contamination of the cradle and reduce the
need for cleaning/disinfection, we suggest that you do not bring it into the patient care area. If you need to
have the cradle near the patient care area, do not set it on the patient’s bedding or hold it in contaminated
hands for testing. Instead, set the cradle on a trolley that is used for transport or on a clean surface near the
patient.
If the cradle becomes contaminated, it can be wiped down with a damp cloth and/or a disinfectant wipe.
Before disinfection, remove the Sera
TM
from the cradle and unplug the cradle
from AC power.
Be careful that no fluid enters sensitive components of the cradle such as the
USB/power connector.
Make sure that the cradle is completely dry before reconnecting the power
cable and reinserting the Sera
TM
.
Preamplifier and electrode lead wires
The preamplifier and electrode lead wires can be wiped down with a damp cloth or a disinfectant wipe if
necessary.
Be careful that no fluid enters sensitive areas of the preamplifier or electrode lead wire connector.
The preamplifier and electrode lead wires should be completely dry before
re-use.
