Cleaning and Reusing a Masimo Sensor
Reusable sensors can be cleaned per the following procedure:
1. Remove the sensor from the patient.
2. Disconnect the sensor from the monitor.
3. Wipe the entire sensor with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad, and clean with a dry cloth.
4. Allow the sensor to air-dry before returning it to operation.
This method can be used to clean emitting and receiving parts too. The cables should be cleaned
with a 3% Hydrogen peroxide, a 70% isopropyl alcohol or other solutions. Keep the cleaning
solution away from the sensor connections.
Reattaching a Disposable Adhesive Sensor:
single use sensors may be reapplied to the same patient if the emitter and detector windows
are clear and the adhesive still adheres to the skin;
The adhesive can be partially rejuvenated by wiping with a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe and
allowing the sensor to thoroughly air-dry prior to replacement on the patient.
WARNING
z To avoid cross contamination only use Masimo disposable sensors on the same
patient.
z Before cleaning the monitor or the sensor, make sure the equipment is switched
off and disconnected from AC power.
CAUTION
z Do not reuse Masimo disposable sensors.
z Do not soak or immerse patient cables in any liquid solution. Do not sterilize
patient cables by irradiation steam or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning
instructions for use for reusable Masimo patient cables.
