Cleaning the transmitter
The transmitter is intended for personal use at home (single-patient use) or for use in
healthcare facilities (multiple-patient use). Single-patient use requires cleaning after
each use, while multiple-patient use requires cleaning and disinfection after each
use. When using the transmitter in a healthcare facility, always follow the cleaning
and disinfecting procedure for multiple-patient use.
Warning: Do not discard the transmitter in a medical waste container or
expose it to extreme heat. The transmitter contains a battery that
may ignite, and result in serious injury.
Note: The tester is a required component for cleaning the transmitter. For details,
see Tester, on page 7.
