Cleaning, disinfecting and storing GE ECG cables
and leadwires
Cleaning and disinfecting
1. Remove cables and leadwires from the handheld device or system
before cleaning.
2. Use care in cleaning leadwires to prevent pulling the long wires from
the connector ends. Metal connections can be pulled away from the
connectors.
3. For general cleaning of cables and leadwires, wipe using a lightly
moistened cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Then wipe and
air dry.
4. For disinfecting the cables and leadwires, wipe exterior with a soft
lint-free cloth, using the following solution as recommended in the
APIC Guidelines for Selection and Use of Disinfectants (1996):
Sodium hypochlorite (5.2% household bleach) minimum 1:500
dilution (minimum 100 ppm free chlorine) and maximum 1:10
dilution.
Any sodium hypochlorite wipe product that meets the above
guidelines can be used.
NOTE
Wring excess disinfectant from wipe before using.
NOTE
Any contact of disinfectant solutions with metal parts may cause
corrosion.
5. Do
not
immerse either end of a cable or leadwire connector.
Immersing or “soaking” the connector ends may corrode metal
contact ends and affect signal quality.
6. Wipe off cleaning solutions with a clean, lightly moistened cloth.
7. Dry thoroughly with a dry, lint-free cloth and let air dry for at least
30 minutes.
NOTE
Drying times may vary based on the environmental conditions.
8. Take care not to let fluid “pool” around connection pins. If this should
happen, blot dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
9.
Do not
use excessive drying techniques, such as oven, forced heat or
sun drying.
