Cleaning ECG Leadwires
Inspect the leadwire sockets for contamination. If necessary, flush
using a syringe and clean using a toothpick. Once clean, Spacelabs
Healthcare recommends wetting the sockets with 70% isopropyl
alcohol to provide low level disinfection. This agent can be left to
dry naturally and does not require any rinse procedures.
Note:
After cleaning ECG leadwires, remove the ECG leadwires from
the lead block and thoroughly dry them at the lead block ends
and at the lead connector ends. Thorough drying will prevent
residual moisture from providing a low-current path between
leads, which can interfere with lead off detection and cause false
asystoles.
Cleaning Buttons
Clean the buttons by wetting a small brush with a mild detergent
solution and gently scrubbing around and across the buttons. Dry
the buttons with a rubbing action.
Disinfect the buttons by using the same method. Spacelabs
Healthcare recommends using 70% isopropyl alcohol which can be
left to dry naturally and does not require any rinse procedures.
Cleaning the Battery Cover
Clean around the battery cover release with a small brush using a
mild detergent solution. Disinfect using the same method with 70%
isopropyl alcohol to provide low level disinfection.
Open the battery cover and inspect the hinges and catch for
contamination. If necessary, flush using a syringe and clean using a
small brush, taking care not to deform the cover spring. Once clean,
we recommend wetting with 70% isopropyl alcohol to provide low
level disinfection. This agent can be left to dry naturally and does
not require any rinse procedures.
