6.2 Cleaning the Housing and Cables
Do not, under any circumstances, immerse the device in cleaning liquid and do not sterilise it with hot water,
steam or air.
Do not autoclave the unit or any accessories.
Do not immerse the device in liquid.
The use of detergents with a high acid content or detergents that are otherwise
unsuitable can damage the device (i.e. cracks and wear of the plastic housing).
Always follow the dilution instructions provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning solution.
Never use any of the following or similar cleaning products: Ethyl alcohol,
ethanol, acetone, hexane, abrasive or scouring powder or material, any cleaning
material that damages plastic.
The patient cable and other cable assemblies must not be exposed to excessive
mechanical stress. Whenever disconnecting the leads, hold the plugs and not the
cables. Store the leads in such a way as to prevent anyone stumbling over them
or any damage being caused by the wheels of medical equipment carts.
When cleaning, ensure that all labels and safety statements, whether etched, printed or stuck to the device,
remain in place and readable.
Thoroughly inspect the device and the accessories before cleaning.
Look for any signs of damage.
Gently bend and flex cables, inspecting them for damage or extreme wear, exposed
wires and bent connectors.
Confirm that all connectors engage securely.
The housing of the device and the cable assemblies can be cleaned with a cloth slightly
moistened (not wet) on the surface only. If necessary, a domestic non-caustic cleaner or a
70 % alcohol solution can be used to remove grease stains and finger prints.
Wipe the equipment with a cloth slightly moistened (not wet) with one of the approved
cleaning solutions (see page 19, chapter 6.2.3). Thoroughly wipe off any excess cleaning
solution. Do not let the cleaning solution run into or accumulate in connector openings,
switches, or gaps. If liquid gets into connectors, dry the area with warm air and then check
that the device operates properly.
