Table 2: Risk Assessment
Cleaning the Cobalt AVL
Warning:
Disinfectants and cleaning methods listed are recommended by Verathon
®
based on compatibility with product materials. Refer to the disinfectant
label instructions for guidance on disinfection efficacy and appropriate
clinical uses.
Caution: Meticulous cleaning must precede any disinfection process, to
ensure all foreign matter is removed from the surface of the device. This
allows the active ingredients of the chosen process to reach all the surfaces
of the device.
Availability of disinfection products varies by country, and we are unable
to test products in every market. Please use the list of recommended
disinfectants in this manual to compare with products available locally.
Note: When using any of the high-level disinfectants listed in Table 3, read
and comply with product use instructions in all applications.
