Maintenance
• Ketone
• Betadine
• Alcohol-based cleaning agents
• Sodium salts
• Never autoclave or steam clean the device, cables, or leadwires.
• Do not use any of the accessories until thoroughly dry.
• Do NOT immerse either end of a cable or leadwire connector in any solution.
Immersing or soaking the connector ends may corrode metal contact ends and
affect signal quality.
• Do NOT let liquids collect around the connection pins.
If this happens, blot them dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning and Disinfecting Cables and Leadwires
Proper cleaning and disinfecting prolongs the life of the cables and leadwires. Failure
to use the proper cleaning solutions or to follow the proper procedures can result in
the following:
• Damage or corrosion
• Diminished signal quality
• Product discoloration
• Metal part corrosion
• Brittle wires and connectors
• Reduced cables and leadwires life
• Device malfunction
• Voided warranty
Cleaning the Cables and Leadwires
Use the following procedure to clean the cables and leadwires:
NOTE:
• While performing the following procedure, use care in cleaning the leadwires
to prevent pulling the wires from the connector ends, because the metal
connections can be pulled away from the connectors.
• Cleaning removes dirt and marks but does not disinfect the cables and
leadwires.
1. Remove the cables and leadwires from the device before cleaning.
2. Wipe them with a cloth lightly moistened with a mild solution of soap and water.
Do not use any of the following cleaning products, or products that contain the
same active ingredients and solutions, which are known to cause the problems
previously listed:
