3. Spray the 10% bleach solution on the affected area until the area is
saturated. Allow the cuff to sit for 5 minutes.
4. Wipe away any excess solution and rinse the cuff again with distilled water.
Allow 2 hours for drying.
The user has the responsibility to validate any deviations from the
recommended method of cleaning and disinfection.
For additional information on infection control procedures, contact GE Medical
Systems Information Technologies Technical Support.
Do not immerse predictive temperature probes. The probe may be cleaned with
a solution of 10% bleach in water. Use a cloth or sponge—just damp, not wet—
and avoid getting any liquid into the interior of the probe.
Adhesive sensors are sterile and for single use only. Reusable sensors should be
cleaned before reuse with a 70% alcohol solution. If low-level disinfection is
required, use a 1:10 bleach solution. Do not use undiluted bleach (5% - 5.25%
sodium chlorite) or any cleaning solution other than those recommended here
because permanent damage to the sensor could occur. Do not sterilize the
sensor by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. If disposable sensors or their
packaging are damaged, they must be disposed of as advised in this appendix.
To clean or disinfect the sensor:
1. Saturate a clean, dry gauze pad with the cleaning solution. Wipe all surfaces
of the sensor and cable with this gauze pad.
2. Saturate another clean, dry gauze pad with sterile or distilled water. Wipe all
surfaces of the sensor and cable with this gauze pad.
3. Dry the sensor and cable by wiping all surfaces with a clean, dry gauze pad.
If it becomes necessary to store the Monitor for an extended period of time,
remove all attached accessories. Attach the original packing inserts, and place
the Monitor into the original shipping container.
Battery life is significantly reduced if the battery is left in a discharged state. For
long-term storage, fully charge the battery, then remove the battery from the
unit and periodically charge the battery. For more information, refer to the
"Storage and Battery Care" section below.
Long-term storage at high temperatures can lead to deterioration of seals and
separators and should be avoided.
