Use only the Finicare-approved substances and methods listed in this chapter to clean or
disinfect your equipment. Warranty does not cover damage caused by using unapproved
substances or methods.
Finicare has validated the cleaning and disinfection instructions included in this User
Manual. It is the responsibility of the healthcare professional to ensure that the instructions
are followed so as to ensure adequate cleaning and disinfection.
11.1 General Points
Keep your thermometer free of dust and dirt. To prevent the device from damage, please
follow the procedure:
Use only recommended cleaning substances and disinfectants listed in this manual.
Others may cause damage (not covered by warranty), reduce product lifetime or cause
safety hazards.
Always dilute according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Unless otherwise specified, do not immerse any part of the device in liquid.
Do not pour liquid onto the system.
Do not allow liquid to enter the case.
Never use abrasive material (such as steel wool or silver polish).
Inspect the device after they are cleaned and disinfected.
Warning
1. If you spill liquid on the probe sensor, LCD or they are accidentally immersed in liquid,
contact your service personnel or service engineer.
2. Before cleaning or disinfection make sure that the device is switched off and
disconnected from the power line.
3. After cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, allow the thermometer to air dry. Use a soft, dry
cloth to clean the thermometer body and LCD display.
4. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge this thermometer in water or any other
liquid.
5. Please keep the inner cavity of the sensors and probes clean, otherwise it will affect
the measuring accuracy.
11.2 Cleaning
If the point(s) has been in contact with the patient without the replaceable ear cover
co-packaged, e.g. surface of infrared probe and protective cover, then cleaning and
disinfection is required after every use to avoid contamination. If there has been no patient
contact and there is no visible contamination, including the handle, battery cover and
compartment, LCD, keys and inside surface of the protective cover, or when the probe is
used with the replaceable ear cover, daily cleaning and disinfection is appropriate, and the
suggestion is do it weekly.
The validated cleaning agents for cleaning the monitor and reusable accessories are:
Isopropanol (70%)
Cleaning agents should be applied and removed using a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth or
paper towel.
To do surface-cleaning to the thermometer, please follow these steps:
