Cleaning and Disposal
Temperature probes are disposable and intended for single-patient use. Do not clean and reuse
temperature probes. Dispose of the contaminated waste according to local protocols.
Temperature adapter cables are reusable and may be cleaned. To clean the reusable temperature
cable:
1. Disconnect the cable from the monitor.
2. Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with a germicidal solution to wipe clean. See "Cleaning the
Device" on page 10-15 for a list of acceptable cleaning solutions.
3. Allow to dry before reconnecting the cable to the monitor.
