Disinfecting ECG Cables

Use the following procedure to disinfect the cables and leadwires:

Store cables and leadwires by hanging them vertically in a dry, well -venti-

lated area. Do NOT coil leadwires or cables around the device.

If the battery status indicates the battery's capacity is too low despite in-

serting a new or fully charged battery, it is recommended that you clean

the battery contacts. Use a cloth moistened with a 70% alcohol solution.

Check the ECG Cable and connectors every month by connecting to an

ECG simulator.

Remove the cables and leadwires from the device before disin-

fecting.

Wipe them with a cloth lightly moistened with an appropriate dis-

infectant.

Use the following solutions, as recommended in APIC Guidelines

for Selection and Use of Disinfectants (1996):

Sodium hypochlorite (5.2% household bleach) minimum



1:500 dilution (minimum 100 ppm free chlorine) and maxi-

mum 1:10 dilution.

Any sodium hypochlorite wipe product that meets the previ-



ous guidelines.

Dry the cables with a clean cloth or paper towel.
