Cleaning the Transmitters
Importance of Proper Cleaning
Some disinfecting solutions can be conductive and cause anomalies in the
performance of the transmitter. Improper cleaning methods can result
in:
appearance of waveforms when the transmitter is not connected to a
patient, causing false alarms,
degradation of overall system performance,
total transmitter failure,
replacement of leadwires and/or transmitter.
Additionally, improper cleaning methods could result in:
melting, dulling, or distorting the case,
blurred lettering on the labels.
NOTE
Cleaning products known to cause the types of problems listed above
include, but are not limited to, Sani-Cloth® wipes and Ascepti®
wipes; these should be avoided. Products that contain active
ingredients and solutions similar to these products should also be
avoided.
