4.1 Cleaning and disinfecting the 24967 patient connector
4.1.1 Cautions and notes for cleaning and disinfecting
Cautions:
• Clean and disinfect the patient connector as needed according to your organization’s policies. Use only the recommended
methods to clean and disinfect the patient connector. Depending on the level of contamination, such as exposure to blood or body
fluid, Medtronic recommends cleaning and disinfecting the patient connector promptly after use to minimize drying and cross
contamination.
• Use only recommended cleaning and disinfecting methods on the patient connector. Using other cleaners, solvents, or
disinfectants (such as bleach, ethers, acetone, or chlorinated solvents) may damage the patient connector plastic, circuitry, or
metal components.
• Do not immerse the patient connector in water or cleaning agents. Do not use automated machine washers. Severe damage to
the patient connector may occur.
• Do not sterilize the patient connector by ethylene oxide, gamma radiation or steam-sterilization (autoclave). Severe damage to the
device, housing, or labels may occur using these methods.
Notes:
• The patient connector is designed to withstand normal cleaning and disinfecting over its product life.
• The disinfecting procedure below has been tested and shown to achieve a log 4.8 or greater reduction in pathogens. If your
organization or application requires a higher level of disinfection, place the patient connector inside a sterile barrier (such as the
Medtronic Model 6177 sterile sleeve).
• During procedures in a sterile environment or when cross contamination is a concern, place the patient connector inside a sterile
barrier (such as the Medtronic Model 6177 sterile sleeve).
• The power cord, USB cable, and optional tether kit accessories cannot be disinfected effectively. If these accessories become
contaminated, discard the accessory and contact Medtronic for a replacement. When using the optional tether kit to secure the
USB cable or power cord, place the patient connector inside of the Medtronic Model 6177 sterile sleeve to limit patient contact and
reduce device exposure to contamination.
4.1.2 Preparing the patient connector
1. If the patient connector is connected plugged into a power source, unplug it. If you are using the optional tether kit to secure the
cord to the patient connector, only unplug the cord from the power source.
2. The patient connector powers off automatically in 5 min when it is not connected to a power source. Wait 5 min for the patient
connector to power off.
The LED lights turn off when the patient connector powers off.
