Disinfecting external surfaces

The decision to disinfect must be made per the institution's requirements with an
awareness of the effect on the integrity of the device. Do not use excessive drying
techniques (e.g., oven, forced heat, sun drying).

3. Close the battery door.
4. Dampen a soft lint-free cloth, or use disinfectant wipes with one of the permitted
disinfectants.
5. Wring excess liquid from the cloth and wipe the exterior surface. Pay special
attention to hard-to-clean areas, like grooves and crevices. Allow disinfecting
solution to remain on device per disinfectant instructions or per hospital
guidelines.
Any contact of disinfecting solutions with metal parts may cause corrosion.
