Maintenance: Cleaning
Leadwire Cleaning Process
Follow these step for proper cleaning of your leadwires.
CAUTIONS
Do not use acetone or ketone solvents for cleaning;
do not use an autoclave or steam cleaner.
Do not submerse the telemetry leadwires.
1. Always disconnect the ECG cable 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 leadwire with cleaning solution. Avoid getting
cleaning solution in the connector end that plugs into the
transmitter.
4. Thoroughly dry the leadwire after cleaning. Leadwires should hang
freely when wiping. Use a paper towel to or a cotton swab to
remove any liquid in the connector.
5. Use the Verify Leads feature of the transmitter as a check.
a. Connect the leadwire to the transmitter, but do not connect the
leadwire to a patient.
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 you are using a 5 or
6 lead leadwire and it is dry, none of the LEDs will light up. If
you are using a 3-lead leadwire and it is dry, only the reference
lead LED will light up and stay lit.
f. If any unexpected LEDs light up, re-dry the leadwire. Allow the
leadwire to air dry if paper towel is not effective.
g. Do not attach the leadwire to a patient until the leadwire is
thoroughly dry.
