Cleaning/disinfecting 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 multi-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.
Caution:
Note: The tester is a required component for cleaning and disinfecting the
transmitter. For details, see Watertight tester, on page 7.
For single-patient use
Always clean the transmitter after each use.
To clean the transmitter:
1 Wash your hands thoroughly.
2 Attach the tester to the transmitter.
3 Rinse the transmitter under cool tap water for at least one minute and until visibly
clean. Make sure all hard-to-reach areas are rinsed completely.
4 Prepare a mild liquid soap solution using 5 milliliters (one teaspoon) of mild liquid
soap per 3.8 liters (one gallon) of room temperature tap water. Never use organic
solvents, such as paint thinner or acetone, to clean the transmitter.
5 With tester still attached, submerge the transmitter in the mild liquid soap solution
and soak for one minute.
6 Holding the tester, brush the entire surface of the transmitter using a soft-bristled
toddler toothbrush. Make sure to brush all hard-to-reach areas until visibly clean.
7 Rinse the transmitter under running room temperature tap water for at least one
minute, and until all visible liquid soap is gone.
8 Dry the transmitter and tester with a clean, dry cloth.
9 Place the transmitter and tester on a clean, dry cloth and air dry them completely.
10 Disconnect the tester from the transmitter.
Do not discard the transmitter in a medical waste container or
otherwise subject it to incineration. The transmitter contains a
battery that may explode upon incineration.
