7-2 Maintaining the Cardiograph
Cleaning the Electrodes and Cables
Clean the electrodes and patient cables with a soft cloth moistened with a rec-
ommended disinfectant or cleaning agent from the following list:
l Cetylcide® (may discolor cable)
l Cidex®
l Lysol® Disinfectant
l Lysol® Deodorizing Cleaner (may discolor cable)
l Dial® Liquid Antibacterial Soap
l Ammonia
l 409® (may discolor cable)
l 10% solution of Clorox® in water (may discolor cable)
l Murphy® Household Cleaner, or
l Ves-phene II®.
Wring any excess moisture from the cloth before cleaning.
CAUTION Do not clean the patient cable with alcohol. Alcohol can cause the plastic to
become brittle and may cause the cable to fail prematurely.
Do not autoclave the cable or use ultrasonic cleaners.
Do not immerse the patient cable.
Do not use abrasive materials to clean metal surfaces—scratches on them can
cause artifacts on the ECG.
Do not wet the connectors, especially the 15-pin connector.
