Cleaning and Disinfection
Refer to section 3 for proper cleaning and disinfection procedures.
Sterilization
EtO sterilization is not recommended but may be required for cables and lead wires. Frequent sterilization will
reduce the useful life of cables and lead wires. If required, sterilize with ethylene oxide gas (EtO) at a maximum
temperature of 50°C/122°F. After EtO sterilization, follow the recommendations from the sterilizer manufacturer
for required aeration.
Cautions
Improper cleaning products and processes can damage the device, produce brittle lead wires and cables, corrode the
metal, and void the warranty. Use care and proper procedure whenever cleaning or maintaining the device.
