TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 5-3
C LEANING, DISINFECTING, AND STERILIZATION
Basic Cleaning and Low-level Disinfection
1 Remove the batteries and close the battery
cover.
2 Remove the ECG leadwires, grouper, and
SPO
2
cable (if fitted).
3 Inspect the transmitter for contamination. If
required and carry out steps 4 and 5 to clean
the transmitter.
4 Rub the transmitter with a cloth wetted in a
mild detergent solution.
5 Dry the transmitter thoroughly.
6 Prepare the cleaning solution chosen from
the list of recommended cleaning solutions
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
7 Wet a clean cloth with the selected cleaning
solution.
8 Remove excess liquid from the cloth and
squeeze dry.
9 Wipe all exposed surfaces of the equipment
and cables.
10 Leave the transmitter for the required contact
time, during which it should remain wet.
11 Remove any soap residue by gently wiping
with a clean damp cloth.
12 Wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.
13 Take steps to remove disinfectant residues in
accordance with the disinfectant labelling.
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.
