testing.
Cleaning the transmitter
The transmitter is intended for personal use at home (single-patient use) or for use in healthcare
facilities (multiple-patient use). Single-patient use requires cleaning after each use, while
multiple-patient use requires cleaning and disinfection after each use. When using the transmitter in
a healthcare facility, always follow the cleaning and disinfecting procedure for multiple-patient use.
WARNING: Do not discard the transmitter in a medical waste container or expose it to
extreme heat. The transmitter contains a battery that may ignite and result in serious injury.
Note: The tester is a required component for cleaning the transmitter. For details, see Tester,
page 21.
CAUTION: Do not use an automated washer-disinfector to clean or disinfect the device.
Using an automated washer-disinfector to clean or disinfect the device will cause damage to
the transmitter.
For single-patient use
Always clean the transmitter after each use.
To clean the transmitter, use these materials:
• mild liquid soap

Use life
The transmitter can be cleaned up to 122 times or for one year, whichever comes first. Discard the
transmitter at this point. If the transmitter is used beyond 122 times or one year, the cleaning process
