Caring for the SmartMonitor 2
Use the information in this section to keep the SmartMonitor 2 functioning perfectly.
Use only Respironics accessories with the SmartMonitor 2.
Cleaning Instructions
Turn the monitor OFF, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and disconnect all accessories before you begin
cleaning.
Never immerse the monitor or any of the accessories in water or spray cleaner directly on them. Apply
water or cleaner to a soft cloth and gently wipe the components to clean them.
Monitor, Power
Cord/Battery Charger
and Lead Wires
Use a clean cloth and any of the following:
Unscented dishwashing detergent
3% hydrogen peroxide solution (the kind found in most stores) to
clean the monitor unit.
91% Isopropyl alcohol
10% bleach solution
Germicidal Cloth
Electrodes
Do not attempt to clean the disposable style electrodes.
Clean the carbon electrodes with a mild soap and water. They must be
rinsed well to remove any traces of soap film. Soap film can prevent
heart and breathing signals from being picked up clearly by the monitor.
Insure that the electrodes are completely dry before using.
Soft Carrying Case
Although the care label in the carrying case suggests machine washing
in warm water, the appearance of the carrying case will change
noticeably after washing.
Respironics recommends that you wipe the case with a damp cloth or
sponge using a light detergent, if necessary. Air-dry only.
Insect Infestation Decontamination Procedures
1: Fumigating a Roach/Insect-infested Unit
Place the unit inside a Zip-lock
plastic bag, i.e. fruit/vegetable bag or large freezer bag.
Insert a pest strip or Roach Motel inside the bag with the unit.
Seal the bag tightly, and leave it at room temperature or warmer for a minimum of 30 days.
During the incubation period, any insect eggs inside the unit will hatch. Consequently, the offspring will
evacuate the unit and be killed by the chemicals from the pesticide.
After 30 days, remove the unit from the bag. Dispose of the bag, and clean the unit thoroughly as
directed below.
