PROCEdURE 6. CLEAN & dISINFECT THE VIdEO BATON
When used as intended, the video baton is a nonsterile, reusable device, which is protected from contact
with mucous membranes and non‑intact skin by the Stat (sterile, single‑use). Low‑level disinfection is
recommended for the video baton after every patient use. High‑level disinfection is required for the video
baton when it is visibly soiled.
Do not use metal or abrasive brushes, scrub pads, or rigid tools to clean the video baton. The window
that protects the camera and light can be scratched, permanently damaging the device.
This component is heat‑sensitive, and exposing it to temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F) will cause
damage to the electronics.
Bleach may be used on the video baton, but pay special attention to the stainless steel on the component,
as bleach can corrode stainless steel.
