similar disinfectant.
Disposable and reusable patient accessories are available for the 90518.
• Disposable accessories are for single-patient use only and must not be
sterilized or cleaned for reuse on other patients. Refer to the instructions
provided with each patient accessory to determine if the accessory may be
cleaned and reused on the same patient.
• Reusable accessories can be used on multiple patients after cleaning and/or
sterilizing. Refer to the instructions provided with these accessories for
details.
Instructions provided with patient accessories may contain warnings regarding
their use. Read these instructions carefully prior to use.

The analyzer has a fan grill located on the rear panel. It must be kept free from
dust and other contaminants.
WARNING:
• Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before
cleaning to protect against electrical shock.

should occur, check the unit for proper operation and
verify its performance accuracy prior to reuse.

resulting in slower response time and more frequent occlusions.
