How to clean a Pulse Oximeter and Reusable SpO2 Sensors

Cleaning oximetry equipment is just as important as proper use. For surface-cleaning and disinfecting the oximeter and reusable SpO2 sensors we recommend the following procedures:

• Turn off the oximeter before cleaning
• Wipe exposed surfaces with a soft cloth or a pad moistened with a mild detergent solution or medical alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol solution)
• Clean your oximeter whenever you see any type of soil, dirt or obstruction in it
• Clean the inside of the elastic thimble and the two optical elements inside with a cotton swab or equivalent moistened with a mild detergent solution or medical alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol solution)
• Ensure that no dirt or blood is on the optical components inside the elastic thimble
• SpO2 Sensors can be cleaned and disinfected with same solutions. Let the sensor dry before using it again. The rubber inside of the SpO2 sensor belongs to medical rubber, which has no toxin and no harmful to the skin of human being
• Replace the batteries timely when battery indication is low. Please follow the law of the local government to deal with used battery
• Remove the batteries inside the battery cassette if the Oximeter will not be operated for a long time
• It is recommended that the oximeter should be kept in a dry environment anytime. A wet ambient might affect its lifetime and even might damage the oximeter
• Caution: Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the oximeters, their accessories, switches or openings
