Removing adhesive residue
You may need to perform this procedure only if you have used optional occlusive
dressing, which may leave adhesive residue on the transmitter. If you visually inspect
the transmitter and see adhesive residue on it, follow the instructions below.
To remove adhesive residue, you will need the following materials: Detachol
medical adhesive remover and cotton swabs. You can buy Detachol at http://
www.amazon.com/.
To remove adhesive residue:
1
Make sure the tester is attached to the transmitter.
2
Holding the tester, saturate a cotton swab in the Detachol solution and gently rub
the adhesive residue on the transmitter until it is fully removed.
3
Continue with the appropriate single-patient or multi-patient cleaning procedure
above.
Cracking, flaking, or damage of the housing are signs of
deterioration and the performance of the device may be
compromised. This may affect the ability to properly clean and
disinfect the transmitter. If these signs are noted, the device must
be discarded according to local regulations for battery disposal
(non-incineration).
