The instrument itself should be cleaned using a damp cloth. In the event of an excessive
build-up of dirt, a mild alcohol solution (isopropyl) may be used to wipe over the instrument,
which should be allowed to air-dry afterwards. In extreme cases, the monitor casing may be
cleaned using a mild detergent.
Note:
The Accurox Oxygen monitor cannot be liquid sterilised or autoclaved –
irreparable damage may result.
