Bilisoft Fiberoptic Light Pad And Cable - GE BiliSoft Operation And Maintenance Manual

BiliSoft Fiberoptic Light Pad and Cable

CAUTION:
Never immerse the fiberoptic light pad or fiberoptic cable in liquid.
CAUTION:
Do not autoclave or gas sterilize the fiberoptic light pad or fiberoptic cable.
CAUTION:
The fiberoptic cable connector requires special cleaning methods to avoid
damage to the fiberoptic lenses. (See page 7-4 for detailed instructions on
cleaning the fiberoptic cable connector.)
WARNING:
Do not use a phenolic compound based cleaner. Phenolic compounds have
been associated with elevated bilirubin levels in infants.
CAUTION:
Exposing the fiberoptic light pad's plastic cover to strong cleaning solutions,
alcohol, or ultraviolet light can cause premature breakdown of the plastic
material. Cleaning solutions that discolor the fiberoptic light pad, such as
iodine solutions, will reduce the pad's light output. Do not place the fiberoptic
light pad in direct sunlight. Do not use iodine solutions, strong acids, strong
alkali, or bleach solutions to clean the pad.
Clean the fiberoptic light pad and cable using a mild detergent solution. Never use an
abrasive cleaner on the fiberoptic light pad or the cable. Aqueous solutions, which are both
hospital disinfectants and microbactericides, may be used. Apply the cleaning solutions with
a clean soft cloth. Remove any cleaning residue with a clean soft cloth soaked with water
only. Do not spray cleaner directly on the fiberoptic light pad or cable. See table on page 7-4
for a list of approved cleaners.
