Although NOT RECOMMENDED, cables and leadwires can be sterilized
with ethylene oxide gas (EtO) at a maximum temperature of 50° C
(122° F). Follow the instructions provided by the sterilizer manufacturer.
NOTE
Frequent sterilization reduces the useful life of cables and leadwires.
To ensure that the cables and leadwires are in proper working order, use
the following guidelines to store them between use:
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Hang cables and leadwires vertically.
Do not coil cables or leadwires around the device.
Although proper cleaning and storage prolong the life of leadwires, you
will eventually need to replace the leadwire adapters. The following
illustration shows the proper method for replacing adapters.
