Roll up the inflation bag and slide it out the open slot in the cloth cuff.
Be sure to observe the following laundering precautions (do NOT
launder disposable cuffs and neoprene inserts.):
• Remove the inflatable bag from the cuff before you launder or
sterilize the cuff.
• Strong bleach solutions will damage the cuff.
• Temperatures over 275° F (135° C) will damage the cuff.
• Close the Velcro
®
fastener before you launder the cuff.
• Soaking the cuff in dark-colored solutions may stain or discolor
the cuff.
Hand laundering (as opposed to machine laundering) prolongs the
life of the cuff. Wash the cuff in warm, soapy water. Rinse the cuff
thoroughly. After cleaning the cuff, allow the cuff to air dry, then insert
the inflation bag in the cuff.
DOX Pulse
Oximeter Sensors
• Do not immerse any Criticare pulse oximeter sensor connector
in any liquid. Doing so may damage the connector.
The SpO
2
sensor may be wiped clean with alcohol. The SpO
2
sensor
may be disinfected by placing the paddles and cable in a 2%
glutaraldehyde solution. Place only the sensor paddles and cable in
the solution.
OxiMax Pulse
Oximeter Sensors
D-YS SENSOR
Remove the disposable wrap from the D-YS by peeling it away from
the sensor. The sensor may be surface-cleaned with a solution such
as 70% isopropyl alcohol. If low-level disinfection is required, use a
1:10 bleach solution. Do not use undiluted bleach (5%~5.25% sodium
hypochlorite) or any cleaning solution other than those recommended
here because permanent damage to the sensor could occur.
• Do not expose connector pins to cleaning solution as this may
damage sensor.
To clean or disinfect the sensor using the recommended wipe
method:
1. Saturate a clean, dry gauze pad with the cleaning solution.
Wipe all surfaces of the sensor and the cable with this gauze
pad.
2. Saturate another clean, dry gauze pad with sterile or distilled
water. Wipe all surfaces of the sensor and cable with this gauze
pad.
