14.5 Maintenance and Cleaning
WARNING
z Before cleaning the transducer, make sure the transducer is disconnected from
the monitor, or the monitor is powered off and disconnected from AC power.
Cleaning of IBP Transducer
After the IBP monitoring operation is completed, remove the tubing and the dome from the
transducer and wipe the transducer diaphragm with water. To clean the transducer and the cable,
wipe them using soap or the detergents listed below:
Cetylcide
Wavicide-01
Wescodyne
Cidex
Lysol
Vesphene
Do not immerse the connector in any liquid. After cleaning, dry the transducer thoroughly before
storing. Slight discoloration or temporary increase of surface stickiness of the cable should not be
considered abnormal. If it is necessary to remove the adhesive tape residue from the transducer
cable, the double seal tape remover is recommended; use the remover with special caution to
minimize the damage to the cable. Acetone, Alcohol, Ammonia and Chloroform, or other strong
solvents are not recommended because they are harmful to the vinyl cabling if used for a long
time.
NOTE
z The disposable transducers or domes must not be reused.
z To avoid contamination, the disposable transducers or domes must be reclaimed
or disposed of properly.
