cleaning and disinfection. You should treat all parts of the device that come in contact with
human blood or other body fluids as they were known to be infectious.
After use, clean the outer shell of the device with soft and dry cloth gently. Medical cotton ball
immerged with a 75% medical alcohol solution should be used to wipe probes gently and
