Prior to first use as well as after each use Clean or Disinfect/Sterilize the sensor.
Cleaning: A soap solution or mild alkaline solution should be used.
Disinfection: Use commercially available disinfectants that are recommended
for use with PLASTIC MATERIALS. Immersion times and
concentrations stated must be in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions
Note: Disinfectants containing compounds similar to PHENOL or
ALKYLAMINES (Glucorrotamine) are unsuitable.
Note: Eliminate all residues of cleaning agents and disinfectant
used by thoroughly rinsing with sterile water after each
cleaning and disinfecting procedure.
Sterilisation For sterilization a validated steam sterilization according to BS
EN554 can be applied. Autoclave at
134ºC (277ºF) (Allowable variation of temperature of +3ºC) at
220kPa (32psi) with a minimum holding time of 3 minutes.
or
121ºC (248ºF) (Allowable variation of temperature of +3ºC) at
96kPa (14.1psi) with a minimum holding time of 15 minutes.
or
Ethylene Oxide at 55ºC (131ºF) plus the recommended time for
aeration
Note: The sensor must not be connected to other standard
connectors when sterilised to prevent cracking. Ensure no
other components/items are lying on the sensor during the
sterilisation process.
Before each use the sensor must be checked for damage. Damaged parts must
not be used.
Warning: Do not use any nebulized gases (medications, salt solutions, etc.)
in conjunction with the sensor as they are likely to degrade the performance
of the sensor and subsequent displayed accuracies.
