User Maintenance Care and Cleaning of SpO 2 Sensors
17.3 Care and Cleaning of SpO 2 Sensors
NOTE: Refer to the individual instruction sheets that are packaged
with each sensor.
Check sensors and cables daily for signs of damage. Replace as required.
Sensors should be cleaned before and after each new patient.
Wipe the patient contact area using a soft cloth with mild soap and water solution or
isopropyl alcohol. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to remove dried blood.
Allow the sensor to completely dry before using.
CAUTION: When cleaning SpO2 sensors, do not use excessive amounts
of liquid. Wipe the sensor surface with a soft cloth,
dampened with cleaning solution. Do not attempt to
sterilize.
Cleaning and Re-use of a Nellcor ® Sensor
Sensors may be reattached to the same patient if the emitter and detector windows are clear
and the adhesive still adheres to the skin. The adhesive can be partially rejuvenated by
wiping with an alcohol wipe and allowing the sensor to thoroughly air dry prior to
replacement on the patient.
Do not immerse any Oxisensor ® , OxiMax ® , Durasensor ® , Oxiband ® , or Duraform ® oxygen
transducers, the Nellcor ® RS-10 or Max-Fast ® oxygen transducers, or any Nellcor ® adhesive
in water or cleaning solution. Clean Durasensor ® , Oxiband ® , and Duraform ® oxygen
transducers, and the Nellcor ® RS-10 or Max-Fast ® oxygen transducers by wiping with a
disinfectant such as a solution containing 70% alcohol. Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam,
or ethylene oxide. Use a new Oxiband ® adhesive wrap or FORM-A adhesive bandage for
each patient. Do not re-sterilize Oxisensor ® or OxiMax ® oxygen transducers.
17.4 Care and Cleaning of Reusable Temperature Probes
NOTE: Refer to the individual instruction sheets that are packaged
with each temperature probe for additional information.
Check temperature probes and cables daily for signs of damage. Replace as required.
Probes should be cleaned before and after each new patient.
Wipe the patient contact area using a soft cloth with mild soap and water solution or
isopropyl alcohol.
Allow the probe to completely dry before using.
