The sensor should be replaced every 2 years. 60 days prior to the sensor change, a
‘countdown to sensor change’ symbol will be shown with the date on which the sensor
should be changed. This can be ignored by pressing until the date at which the sensor
should be changed arrives. At this point, the ‘change sensor’ symbol will be shown. Change

Cleaning
1.
The ToxCO is moulded with SteriTouch® technology for optimum infection control and
has proven bacterial protection efficacy. However Bedfont® recommends wiping the
instrument and D-piece™ external surfaces with a product specifically developed for this
purpose. Bedfont® provides instrument cleaning wipes. The D-piece™ cannot be
sterilised.
2.
NEVER use alcohol or cleaning agents containing alcohol or other organic solvents as
long term exposure to these vapours will damage the H
2
sensor inside.
3.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be immersed in liquid or splashed with
liquid.
