Cleaning the NIBP cuffs

Remove bladders from each cuff.
2.
Using a mild disinfectant/detergent and warm water, wash cuffs by hand or in a washing machine.

Inspection
Any time you visit a patient, it is a good idea to inspect the Genesis DM monitor and accessories. You
should check the following:
•
Power cord is not frayed or connected to unauthorized equipment.
•
Cables are properly attached and in good condition.
•
All accessories are securely attached.
•
Monitor is not standing in or near water.
•
Monitor has not been moved to an unsuitable location.
If there is a frayed power cord or if the unit is attached to unauthorized equipment, unplug the unit and
notify Customer Service.
If a monitor has been dropped or damaged, call Customer Service. Qualified service personnel must
inspect any dropped or damaged units before they are assigned for use.
