For multiple-patient use
When using the transmitter in a healthcare facility, always clean and disinfect the
transmitter after each use.
To clean and disinfect the transmitter:
1 Wash your hands and put on gloves.
2 Inspect the inside of the transmitter's connector opening for any sign of body fluid. For
instructions on how to inspect the connector pins, see Inspecting the transmitter
connector pins, on page 7.
Caution: The person inspecting the transmitter must have sufficient vision that
enables him or her to see small drops of body fluid or debris.
Warning: If you see any body fluid in the connector opening, you must discard
the transmitter. Because the transmitter contains a battery, do not
discard in a bio-waste container. Instead, continue to clean and
disinfect the transmitter, and then discard according to local
regulations for battery disposal (non-incineration).
3 Attach the tester to the transmitter.
4 If there is adhesive residue on the transmitter, follow the instructions in Removing
adhesive residue, on page 11.
5 Rinse the transmitter under cool tap water for at least one minute and until any visible
debris is gone.
6 Prepare an enzymatic solution using 29.5 milliliters (1 ounce) of enzymatic detergent
per 3.8 liters (1 gallon) of lukewarm tap water. Make sure to prepare a fresh solution
for each use.
7 With the tester still attached, fully submerge the transmitter in the enzymatic solution
for one minute.
8 Holding the tester, remove the transmitter from the solution. Brush the entire surface
of the transmitter using a soft-bristled brush, paying close attention to hard-to-clean
areas, until visibly clean.
9 Rinse the transmitter under room temperature tap water until all visible detergent is
gone.
10 Dry any excess moisture by wiping the outside of the transmitter with a clean, dry
cloth.
11 Prepare a 1:10 bleach solution by using one (1) part 8.25% bleach to nine (9) parts
water, for a final concentration of 0.825%. Make sure to prepare a fresh solution for
each use.
