Maintenance: Cleaning
Transmitter Cleaning Process
Follow these steps to properly clean your transmitter.
CAUTIONS
Do not autoclave or steam clean the transmitters.
Do not submerse the transmitters.
1. Always remove batteries and disconnect leadwires from the
transmitter before cleaning.
2. For general cleaning, wipe with a lint-free cloth dampened with the
recommended diluted bleach solution (refer to “General Cleaning/
Disinfecting” on page 5-5).
3. Do not saturate the transmitter with cleaning solution. Avoid getting
cleaning solution in the “wells” that surround the ECG pins of the
transmitter.
4. Thoroughly dry the transmitter after cleaning. Use paper towel or a
lint free cloth to remove any liquid in the “wells” that surround the
ECG pins.
5. Use the Verify Leads feature of the transmitter to check the
transmitter after cleaning.
a. Do NOT connect the leadwires to the transmitter during this
checking process.
b. Insert batteries in the transmitter and close the battery door.
c. Wait for the transmitter to start up (The LEDs will first flash
rapidly and then flash slowly twice. Wait until the LEDs are
done flashing).
d. Press the Verify Leads button. All the LEDs will flash twice to
indicate the button was pushed.
e. Look for LEDs that light up and stay lit. If the transmitter is dry,
none of the LEDs will light up. If the transmitter is wet and an
electrically conductive path is established, some of the LEDs will
light up.
f. If any of the LEDs light up, re-dry the transmitter. Allow the
transmitter to air dry if other methods are not effective.
6. Do not attach the transmitter to a patient until the transmitter is
thoroughly dry.
