instructions for solution strength.
6. Wipe or spray the cable and connector with the disinfectant, following
disinfectant label instructions for wipe durations, solution strengths, and
duration of disinfectant contact with the cable. Ensure that the solution
strength and duration of contact are appropriate for the intended clinical use
of the device. Ensure that the disinfectant solution does not enter the device
or the connector or come into contact with the connector label.
