5 Hygiene and maintenance
5.1 Hygiene and disinfection
5.1.1 USB Connector
The connector does not require any particular maintenance, it should be cleaned using a cloth and non-abrasive
detergents.
5.1.2 Sensor
To avoid cross-contamination between patients during use, it is necessary to protect the sensor with hygienic single-
use protective sheaths (FDA cleared for the USA, CE marked for Europe). Some hygienic protective sheaths suited
for your region are provided with each system.
Before each use on a patient, the used sheath should be thrown away and the sensor disinfected applying a high
level disinfection procedure (see “5.2 Recommended cleaning and decontamination procedure”). A new protective
sheath is applied to the sensor for each new patient. We recommend the disposal of the hygienic protective sheaths
with the biologically hazardous waste of your practice.
Validated protections for North America: BANTA HEALTHCARE or TIDI PRODUCTS X-ray sensor sheaths, STERI-
SHIELD PRODUCTS RS barriers.
Warning
Do not pull on the cable when removing the used protective sheath.
5.1.3 Cables
The cable can be cleaned with caution by using a disinfecting wipe. Hold the sensor with one hand and, with the
other hand, apply a disinfecting wipe from the side of the sensor along the first 20cm / 8inch of the cable without
pulling on the cable; subsequently clean the remainder of the cable in segments of 20-30cm / 8-12inch with as little
pinching of the cable as possible, the wipe should slide without applying force.
5.1.4 Positioners
The positioners provided with the system should be covered by the hygienic protective sheath together with the
sensor.
Warning
Do not pull on the cable when removing the sensor from the positioner.
They should be cleaned and disinfected according to the same procedure as for the sensor (see “5.2 Recommended
cleaning and decontamination procedure”). They can be sterilised, either in an autoclave (classic steam-sterilizer,
distilled water, 134°C / 273°F, 3bar, 4min) or using cold sterilisation (see product instructions). They withstand a
maximal temperature of 145°C / 293°F.
A defective positioner can be thrown away with the regular waste.
