The intracavitary TEMP sensors should be reprocessed by high-level disinfection before and after
use on each new patient. Cidex OPA is the validated agent for high level disinfection. Refer to

been validated with a 12 minute soak. Rinse and dry according to the labeled instructions of
Cidex OPA. Do not dampen the sensor connector.
For the skin TEMP sensors, disinfect them as follows using ethanol or isopropanol only:
1. Disassemble quick TEMP module from the monitor.
