10 Cleaning and Disinfecting ergoline Medical Devices
2.7 ECG Electrodes / Suction Leads
2.7.1 Cleaning
ECG electrodes and suction leads should be cleaned after
each use to ensure optimal hygiene and durability.
Take care not to scratch or damage the surface of the
suction electrodes.
The number of cleaning cycles under normal operating
conditions does not adversely affect the service life.
Thorough cleaning ensures constant, high quality signal
transmission and extends the lifetime.
Only a soft, dry or moistened cloth with one of the
cleaning agents listed in section 1.1.1 should be used for
cleaning.
Notice
• Strictly adhere to the manufacturer's instructions
for use of the substances, e.g., regarding dosage
and exposure times.
Warning
Equipment Damage
• Use only cleaning agents and disinfectants
recommended by ergoline. Unsuitable products
may damage the device.
• Do not, under any circumstances, immerse the device in
liquids or allow liquid to enter the interior of the device.
2.7.2 Disinfection
To ensure complete disinfection, the manufacturer's direc-
tions must be strictly observed, the prescribed exposure
times being of particular importance.
The parts should be disinfected after each use with one of
the disinfectants listed in section 1.2.1.
• Spray the disinfectant onto the exterior of the suction
leads and the suction cups. Observe the exposure time
specified by the manufacturer.
• In the case of heavy soiling of the suction leads and
suction cups, disinfect their exterior with disinfection
wipes or impregnated cleaning tissues.
• Spray the disinfectant on the inside of the electrodes.
Observe the exposure time specified by the manufacturer.
• Disinfect the sealing lips and electrode surfaces with
disinfection wipes or impregnated cleaning tissues.
