Sensor Expiry; Cleaning - CareFusion Smoke Check Manuel D'utilisation

Sensor Expiry

Sensor life ranges from 2 to 5 years and depends upon both the
amount of exposure to CO and other gases and solvents such as
alcohol and cleaning fluids.
When the sensor has expired it will become impossible to obtain a
correct calibration. When this occurs, the Baby CO must be returned to
CareFusion or an authorized agent, for sensor replacement.

Cleaning

Disinfection of contaminated parts is only effective after having them
carefully pre-cleaned. CareFusion recommend the tested solution of
PeraSafe sterilizing powder (36-SSC5000A) for pre-cleaning and
disinfection. If a different solution is used, please follow the given
manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: Always switch off the device before cleaning.
When using the disposable cardboard mouthpiece with one-way valve
under the prerequisite that the patient was instructed only to exhale,
the mouthpiece adapter and the CO meter surface have to be cleaned.
The mouthpiece adapter may be cleaned and sterilized by immersion
in Perasafe (36-SSC5000A) or other cold sterilizing solutions. Exposed
surfaces of the meter may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth or a
cloth that has been immersed in a sterilizing solution. It is
recommended that this procedure is performed after each use and all
used cardboard mouthpieces discarded.
Important note: The sensor surface must not be wiped with any
aqueous solutions and must not be exposed to solvents e.g. alcohol
or permanent damage may result.
