Cleaning and Disinfecting

60
The Sensor should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. The following
cleaning and disinfection recommendations are intended to accomplish
intermediate-level disinfection and will prepare the product to be safely
used and reused during its life.
Although water-resistant, the Sensor should never be soaked or
submerged in disinfecting solution during any cleaning
procedure. Failure to comply with this precaution may cause liquid to
enter the Sensor and can prevent it from operating properly
The USB Interface is not intended to be moved or to come in contact
with a patient during clinical use. If the USB Interface becomes soiled
or comes into contact with a patient, it should be cleaned following the
same protocol as the Sensor.
Sensor positioning accessories, such as aiming rings, arms, and holders,
should be cleaned and disinfected following manufacturer's
instructions. If you are using the Rinn holder system, refer to their
product documentation or their website for more information.
Schick's disposable tabs and holders are single–use only, as are the
hygienic barriers (sheaths) that are used with them.
In a clinical use environment, the health care provider should wear
protective disposable gloves and cover the Sensor with a hygienic
barrier. Before using the Sensor the first time, and before every new
patient, the following protocol is recommended:
1. Remove and discard all protective hygienic barriers and / or
sheaths from the Sensor prior to removing disposable gloves.
2. Place the Sensor on a tray covered by a disposable liner, or in a
receptacle that can be thoroughly disinfected.
3. Remove and discard gloves.
4. Wash hands and put on a new pair of disposable gloves.
5. Disconnect Sensor from USB Interface.
