Cleaning and Low-Level Disinfection
The reusable Clip Sensors should be cleaned and disinfected, but never
sterilized. Follow the procedure outlined below.
Warnings
• Use only validated cleaning solutions and disinfectants listed below;
do not use any others. Failure to do so may damage the sensor or its
connecting wires and shorten product lifetime or cause safety hazards.
• Protect the sensor and connector from becoming soaked with any liq-
uid. Do not immerse the sensor or connector in any cleaning solution,
disinfectant, or other liquid (the sensor and connector may be wiped
with cleaner and disinfectant but never immersed).
• Do not autoclave the sensor or use bleaches containing sodium
hypochlorite (e.g. Clorox™).
• Do not sterilize the sensors.
