As the cuffs and the sensor come in contact only with intact skin, the risk of
infection is low; so the cuffs and the sensor need only to be cleaned and
low-level disinfected between patients.
Use only hospital approved cleaning agents (for USA: FDA cleared) to
clean the cuffs and the sensor after each use and wipe dry immediately.
Be very careful for the cleaning of the cuffs and the sensor.
They must be handled carefully.
Never bend or pull the cable.
Never place it over open wounds or allow them to come in contact with
body fluid.
Do not use the following methods for sterilization and disinfection.
They would induce damages on the cuffs and the sensor.
Sterilization:
Autoclave and Ultrasound

Hydrogen peroxyde at 100 %
Iodine at 100 %
13.2 Console
Always turn off the system and disconnect it from the power outlet before
cleaning the machine. Otherwise, electric chock may result.
Do not place fluid on or near the system.
Clean the external surface (casing) with soft cloth soaked with alcohol.
Make sure that the cloth is damp but not saturated, as you should avoid
introducing fluids into areas of electrical components.
Allow the unit to dry before returning it to operation.
