2.3.6 Cleaning
The MX300 and R17MED sensor are non-sterile devices.
The oxygen monitor, oxygen sensor, and sensor interconnection cable may
be cleaned by wiping the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or a mild cleaning solu-
tion.
When cleaning, do not allow liquids or moisture to enter the Monitor or
sensor internal cavities. Do not expose the electrical connections to the cleaning
solution. Do not immerse the Monitor, oxygen sensor or sensor interconnection
cable in water or any other liquid.
Do not expose the Monitor, oxygen sensor and interconnection cable to
steam, ethylene oxide, or radiation sterilization.
After cleaning, ensure that all surfaces are dry and the Monitor is properly
calibrated before using the Monitor.
