Storage of On-Site Sterilized Devices
Occasionally there may be a delay between the device removal from the animal and return
to DSI for refurbishment. Proper storage of the on-site sterilized device is necessary to
ensure that the unit will not be damaged.
Thoroughly clean and sterilize each device according to DSI's On-Site Re-sterilization
procedure. If the original device sterile package was saved, place the device into the plastic
packaging. This will help to identify the device and the calibration values associated with it.
Do not store devices in saline or other liquid. Sterilization before storage is necessary to
prevent the spread of bacteria during handling.
The devices should be stored in a cool (between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius), dry area
away from exposure to static discharge and magnetic fields. Never expose them to
temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius, as this will void all warranties. It is also important
to store them in an area where they will not be accidentally dropped or have items placed
on top of them. Storage in a refrigerator does not provide significant benefit in terms of
battery life.
Using your PhysioTel®Digital reader, check each device to ensure that it is properly turned
off.
