Cleaning, Disinfecting,
and Sterilization
Cleaning Products Not Recommended for Use
Warnings:
Do not use Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) and quaternary ammonia-based
products to clean the transmitter, leadwires, cables, or sensors. Common quaternary
ammonia germicidal products include Cavicide, Virex, Virex 256, SaniCloth, and
Sanicloth Plus.
These chemicals attack the plastics used in patient monitors and cables, and will
cause serious safety hazards as the electrical insulating properties and structural
integrity of the equipment break down.
These germicidal products are safe for use ONLY on hard, non-porous surfaces,
such as linoleum floors, formica countertops, and stainless steel.
Cleaning the Display
Clean the display with a soft cloth moistened with either 70% isopropyl alcohol solution or
soapy water.
Notes:
Obey your hospital protocol for the handling of blood and body fluids.

insulating properties.
Disconnect the equipment from the patient before cleaning.
