P atient’s Cable
⚫
Clean the patient cables with a gauze pad moistened with a soap solution.
⚫
To disinfect patient cables, wipe the cables with a gauze moistened with diluted alcohol or
a glutaraldehyde-based dis-infectant.
⚫
Ethylene oxide is suitable for intensive disinfection (almost sterilization), but it shows that
the service life of cables and lead wires is reduced.

Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
Caution
Do not use disinfectants that contain phenol as they can spot plastics. Do not
autoclave or clean accessories with strong aromatic, chlorinated, ketone, ether,
or ester solvents. Never immerse electrical connectors.
When cleaning, do not apply excessive pressure or bend the cable
unnecessarily. Excessive pressure can damage the cable.
