Question: What should I do if the MiniLink green light does not flash
when connected to the sensor?
Answer: Is the sensor inserted in the body? If it is not inserted, the
MiniLink will not flash green or send signals to a monitoring device.
If the sensor is inserted in the body, you need to disconnect the
MiniLink from the sensor, wait for several seconds and then reconnect.
If the green light still does not flash, charge the MiniLink.
Question: Why didn't I see the MiniLink green light flash after
connecting it to the tester?
Answer: Check the connection. If you still do not see a green light
flash, fully recharge the MiniLink battery. Test the MiniLink with the
tester. If you still do not see a green light flash, call the HelpLine or
your local representative. It may be time to replace your MiniLink.
Cleaning the MiniLink
Caution: Do NOT discard the MiniLink in a medical waste container or
otherwise subject it to incineration. MiniLink contains a battery which
may explode upon incineration.
For single-patient use
1 Wash your hands thoroughly.
2 Attach the tester to the MiniLink to make sure that NEITHER water
NOR disinfectant NOR alcohol gets inside the connector.
3 Dampen a clean cloth with mild liquid soap and warm water. Wipe
the outside of the MiniLink.
4 Rinse the MiniLink under warm tap water but do NOT get water
inside the connector. If you get water inside the connector, shake
the water out and allow it to air dry.
5 Using an antibacterial hand-sanitizer (available at a local
drugstore) on a clean, dry cloth, wipe the MiniLink's surface.
Do NOT get any hand-sanitizer inside the connector. Repeated
exposure to the hand-sanitizer could damage the connectors and
affect the MiniLink's performance as a result. If you get hand-
sanitizer inside the connector, allow it to air dry.
