The MiniLink transmitter can be cleaned and disinfected up to 122 cycles or one
year, whichever comes first. Discard the transmitter at this point. If you continue to
use the transmitter beyond 122 cycles or one year, the cleaning and disinfection
process may damage the device. Contact Medtronic to order a new transmitter. The
transmitter was validated to last 122 cycles, which represents one cleaning cycle
every three days for one year.

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 8.

that enables him or her to see small drops of body fluid or debris.
