5.2 Recommended cleaning and decontamination procedure
Remove the hygienic protective sheath (dispose of it appropriately with the contaminated waste). Vigorously wipe
down the sensor to remove any visible residues. If necessary rinse with copious amounts of water. Then place the
sensor in the disinfecting agent.
Warning
Only immerse the sensor and the head of the positioner or sensor connection cable in the disinfectant
for 15min, never immerse the connector on the box side of the positioner or sensor connection cable in
the liquid.
During the immersion, brush the submerged parts with a soft brush. Then rinse thoroughly the sensor
and the positioner or the sensor connection cable with copious amounts of fresh water.
Warning
Do not put the sensor in a sterilizer or an autoclave, the high temperature and excessive high pressure
will seriously damage the electronics of the sensor and connectors.
Warning
Do not clean the sensor with inappropriate instruments (knife…).
If the sensor, positioner or sensor connection cable are not being used immediately upon rinsing, as in the case of
allowing them to air-dry overnight at the end of a working day, they should be rinsed with sterile water.
When the sensor, positioner or sensor connection cable are not being used, to protect them from any damage, it is
recommended to store them in their box or to hang them in the sensor wall support.
Even when using protective sheaths, the sensor should be disinfected regularly. Immerse the sensor in cold
sterilisation fluid in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer after having cleaned it from all residues.
Never leave the sensor immersed for longer than necessary.
5.2.1 Recommended decontaminating product for North-America
The sensor being sealed watertight and to minimize the potential for device-associated infections, the sensor and
the part of the positioner or sensor connection cable inserted in the mouth shall be disinfected with an FDA-cleared
high level disinfection agent following the instructions of the manufacturer for use, storage, handling and warning.
