Cleaning
QUIK-COMBO electrodes are not sterile or sterilizable. They are disposable and are for a single
patient application. Do not autoclave, gas sterilize, immerse in fluids, or clean electrodes with
alcohol or solvents.
Include daily inspection of the QUIK-COMBO therapy electrode package as part of your defibrillator
test routine. Daily inspection helps ensure that the therapy electrode has not exceeded the
electrode package Use By date and is ready for use when needed. For more information about daily
inspection and testing, see the Operator’s Checklist in the back of this manual.
