• Do not immerse predictive temperature probes. The
probe may be cleaned with an alcohol solution. Use a
cloth or sponge—just damp, not wet—and avoid getting
any liquid into the interior of the probe.

Sensors
Adhesive sensors are sterile and for single use only.
Reusable sensors can be cleaned with a 70% alcohol
solution. Do not immerse the sensor completely in water,
solvents, or cleaning solutions (because the connector is not
waterproof). 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 Appendix F.
Storage and Battery Care
If it becomes necessary to store the Monitor for an
extended period of time, first fully charge then remove the
battery. Then store the Monitor and the battery in the
original packaging materials.
Batteries should always be fully charged before being
placed in storage. Even after 6 months of storage, a fully
charged battery can retain about 80% of its charge. A fully
charged battery in good condition will provide sufficient
power to operate a Monitor for approximately 3 hours,
including temperature and BP measurements made at
5-minute intervals.
It is best to keep the battery charged as fully as practical
and never store the Monitor with the battery in a discharged
condition. When the battery will no longer hold a charge,
remove and replace it with one of the same part number.
Failure to replace the battery with the same Critikon part
number may result in shorter battery life.
To charge the battery, insert the plug from the AC-DC
power converter into the external power socket and then
plug the converter into an appropriate AC outlet. The
battery will charge regardless of the position of any
switches.
