6. Wipe off cleaning solutions with a clean, lightly moistened cloth.
7. Dry thoroughly with a dry lint-free cloth and let air dry for at least 30 minutes.
NOTE
Drying times may vary based on the environmental conditions.
8. Take care not to let fluid pool around connection pins. If this should happen, blot
dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
9. Do not use excessive drying techniques, such as oven, forced heat or sun drying.
NOTE
EtO sterilization is not recommended, but may be required for cables and
leadwires. Frequent sterilization will reduce the useful life of cables and
leadwires.
Sterilize with ethylene oxide gas (EtO) at a maximum temperature of 50° C (122° F).
After EtO sterilization, follow the recommendations from the sterilizer manufacturer
for required aeration.
Store in a dry well-ventilated area.
Vertically hang cables and leadwires.
Do not coil leadwires or cables tightly around any medical device.
