Maintenance

CAUTION

Never use solutions or products that contain the following:

Any type of Ammonium Chloride such as, but not limited to:

Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride

Quaternary Ammonium Chloride solutions

Abrasive cleaners or solvents of any kind

Acetone

Ketone

Betadine

Alcohol-based cleaning agents

Sodium salts

CAUTION

Never autoclave or steam clean devices, cables or leadwires.

CAUTION

Do not attach the device to a patient until it is thoroughly dry.

CAUTION

IMPROPER TRANSMITTER/LEADWIRE APPLICATION —
Applying a transmitter and/or leadwire that is not thoroughly dry to
a patient can result in an electrically conductive path being
established and a

Leads Fail

alarm not being provided if leadwires

come off the patient.

Cleaning products to avoid

Cleaning products known to cause the types of problems listed above include, but are
not limited to:

Sani-Cloth Wipes

Ascepti Wipes

HB Quat

Clorox Wipes (they do not contain bleach)

Over-the-counter detergents (e.g. Fantastic, Tilex, etc.)

Products that contain active ingredients and solutions similar to these products should
also be avoided.

Transmitter/device cleaning

These instructions apply to transmitters and any other devices, such as oximeters,
blood pressure monitors, etc.
