Disinfection
Disinfection by Chemical Liquid
Follow the above steps to remove the visible dirt. Select an effective chemical disinfectant applicable to the
equipments in the operation room, like buffered glutaraldehyde (glutaraldehyde or preservative). Do not
use any quadrivalent cationic detergent, like benzalkonium chloride. To disinfect the whole instrument,
please remove the cap, immerse the sensor (except the electrical connector) in the disinfectant for the
recommended time, and then use the sterile water or physiological saline to rinse out all components
(except the electrical connector) of the sensor. Do not put the sensor away until it is completely dry.
Disinfection by Gas
For a complete sterility, a gas disinfectant is necessary:
Follow the above steps to remove the visible dirt. In order to restrict the ethylene glycol, please
make sure the sensor is completely dry when you use the ethylene oxide gas disinfectant.
Please follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the gas disinfectant.
Warning
The disinfectant temperature should not be higher than 70
℃
(150
℉
), or the plastics inside the
pressure sensor could deform or melt.
