gauze pad.
To clean or disinfect the sensor using the recommended soak

head(s) and desired length of cable are completely immersed.
• Do not immerse the connector end of the cable as this may
damage the sensor.
2. Dislodge air bubbles by gently shaking the sensor and cable.
3. Soak the sensor and the cable for 10 minutes.
4. Remove from cleaning solution.
5. Place the sensor and the cable in room temperature sterile or
distilled water for 10 minutes.

DS-100A SENSOR
The DS-100A may be surface-cleaned by wiping it with a solution
such as 70% isopropyl alcohol. If low-level disinfection is required,
use a 1:10 bleach solution. Do not use undiluted bleach (5%~5.25%
sodium hypochlorite) or any cleaning solution other than those
recommended here because permanent damage to the sensor could
occur.
To clean or disinfect the sensor:
1. Saturate a clean, dry gauze pad with the cleaning solution.
Wipe all surfaces of the sensor and cable with this gauze pad.
2. Saturate another clean, dry gauze pad with sterile or distilled
water. Wipe all surfaces of the sensor and cable with this gauze
pad.
