12.3.6.3 Cleaning and Reusing a Masimo LNOP 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:
îš„ LNOP 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;
îš„ 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 LNOP 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 LNOP 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.
