How do I clean the sensor after patient monitoring?

Follow these steps to clean the sensor:

  1. Remove sensor from patient and inspect the skin.
  2. Clean the sensor with a gauze soaked in 70% isopropanol or other approved cleaning agent.
  3. Gently wipe the sensor surface, then clean the sides of the membrane ring.
  4. Avoiding strain on the cable, gently clean the sensor cable from the sensor head to plug.
  5. Visually inspect the sensor and membrane.
  6. Place the sensor in the Docking Station and allow it to calibrate.
  7. Once you see the “Ready for Use” screen on the SDM, you can start a new monitoring session.
