CAUTION • The HeartStart MRx, along with its accessories and supplies, may not be autoclaved, steam
sterilized, ultrasonically cleaned, or immersed unless otherwise indicated in the Instructions for Use
that accompany the accessories and supplies.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong solvents such as acetone or acetone-based cleaners.
• Do not mix disinfecting solutions (such as bleach and ammonia) as hazardous gases may result.
• Do not clean electrical contacts or connectors with bleach.
• Disinfect the device as determined by your institution’s policy to avoid long-term damage to the
device.
Monitor/Defibrillator
The following cleaning products may be used to clean the exterior surfaces of the monitor/defibrillator,
as well as the batteries and data card:
• Isopropyl alcohol (70% solution in water).
• Mild soap and water.
• Sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) (3% solution in water).
• Quaternary ammonium compounds (21% quaternary ammonium content) (such as Steris Coverage
Plus NPD
®
) (.5 oz. per gallon water - one part Coverage Plus NPD
®
to 255 parts water).
Before cleaning, remove all adherent soil (tissue, fluids, etc.) and wipe thoroughly with a cloth
dampened with water before applying the cleaning solution.
When cleaning, do not immerse. Wring any excess moisture from the cloth before cleaning. Be sure to
avoid pouring fluids on the device, and do not allow fluids to penetrate the exterior surfaces of the
device. To prevent scratching the display, the use of a soft cloth is recommended.
