CLEANING
It is recommended that the i-STAT Alinity, base station, printer and electronic
simulator be cleaned periodically or whenever visibly soiled. Standard
precautions should be taken whenever working with blood or blood products.
When cleaning the i-STAT Alinity with CaviWipes, power off the
instrument and place it on a level surface. Do not clean or disinfect the
instrument while it is in the Base Station. The Base Station does not need to
be unplugged when it is being cleaned.
Remove a new disposable wipe from the container and squeeze
to remove excess solution.
Gently wipe all outside surfaces (noting the
“Sensitive Areas”
) until all
visible soil is removed.
Inspect all surfaces. If necessary, repeat until all visible soil
is removed.
Wipe with dry gauze until dry.
