CLEANING THE BATTERY CHARGER, POWER
SUPPLY, AND ANALYZER SURFACES

Immediately wipe any spilled blood or other contaminant

from the component surface. Clean using a 10% bleach or
detergent solution.

Caution:

• Use proper precautions when cleaning blood from the analyzer.

• Do not immerse the battery charger, power supply, or analyzer in any

liquid.

• Unplug the battery charger or power supply before cleaning to prevent

electrical shock.

CLEANING THE BATTERY CONTACTS

Periodically examine the battery contacts, battery charger contacts, and
analyzer battery compartment contacts for dirt, corrosion, or contamination.
Clean the contacts using a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol, or use a
clean pencil eraser.

Caution:

• Do not immerse the battery in any liquid.

• Unplug the battery charger or power supply before cleaning to prevent

electrical shock.

• Keep battery contacts away from metal objects.

CLEANING THE INFRARED PROBE

Examine the infrared (IR) probe surface
daily for dirt or contamination. Clean the
probe surface using a swab moistened
with isopropyl alcohol or a 10% bleach
solution. (Figure 6-5) The square glass
surface of the probe should appear shiny
and reflective when clean. Allow the IR
probe to completely dry before testing.
