Cleaning the Transducer
The Photo-Plethysmography transducer requires no routine
maintenance or servicing.
The transducer and cable (disconnected from the interface box) may
be cleaned using a soft cloth moistened with a solution such as 70%
isopropyl alcohol. Secondly, using another clean cloth saturated with
distilled water, wipe clean all surfaces. Carefully avoid damaging the
surface of the finger pads. Allow the finger probe and cable to dry
thoroughly before use.
Caution:
Do not irradiate, autoclave, soak or immerse in any
solutions.
Caution:
Do not use undiluted bleach.
If a low level disinfection is required, use a 1:10 bleach
solution (5%-5.25% sodium hypochlorite).
Caution:
Do not expose connector pins to cleaning solution as
this may damage sensor.
