Cleaning
If the CPRmeter has been used in a training situation, it may be wiped using
an alcohol wipe (70% ethanol solution).
If the CPRmeter has been used in a clinical situation, clean it as follows:
1. Clean and scrub the exterior using a mild detergent and either a soft cloth
or toothbrush until the surfaces are visually clean.
2. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water.
3. Clean the exterior using a 0.55% solution of ortho-phthalaldehyde. Spray the
solution on to cover all exterior surfaces, and allow to sit for a minimum of
10 minutes. An alternative cleaning agent is isopropyl alcohol (70% solution).
4. Wipe the exterior with a clean soft cloth dipped in water. Allow to dry
completely.
CAUTION: This cleaning procedure ensures that the CPRmeter is clean;
however it does not ensure disinfection.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the CPRmeter in water, hold it under running
water, or allow moisture to penetrate it. Do not sterilize the CPRmeter.
