23. Disposal
The disposal of accessories such as electrodes, blood pressure cuffs, temperature
probes, SpO

sensors, and CO

sampling lines & calibration gases should be
carried out according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
At the end of its useful life, the Nightingale PPM3 should be properly disposed of
as well. In particular, the PPM3 contains a lithium coin battery, a lithium ion
battery, and electronic circuit boards which should not be incinerated or exposed
to extreme heat. See warnings at the start of this manual for further precautions.
Contact your local waste disposal agency for guidance on the proper recycling or
disposal of these components.
