Cleaning - CareFusion BabyCO Meter Operating Manual

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: Switch off the device and always unplug your BabyCO
meter from the computer 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 sterilised by immersion
in Perasafe (36-SSC5000A) or other cold sterilising solutions.
Exposed surfaces of the meter may be wiped with a clean, damp
cloth or a cloth that has been immersed in a sterilising 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
CAUTION: Do not attempt to wash or immerse the BabyCO meter
in water or cleaning fluid, as there are electronic components inside
that will be permanently damaged.
Important note: Cardboard mouthpieces must be disposed off
immediately after the use.
If there are changes on the material surfaces of either the unit or
mouthpiece adaptor (cracks, brittleness) the respective parts must
be disposed off.
