12. Maintenance/cleaning
IMPORTANT:
Do not use high-pressure sterilisation on the pulse oximeter!
Under no circumstances should you hold the pulse oximeter under water, as this can
cause liquid to enter and damage the pulse oximeter.
• Clean the housing and the interior rubber surface with a soft cloth dampened with
medical alcohol after each use.
• If a low battery status appears on the display of the pulse oximeter, change the
batteries.
• If you are not going to use the pulse oximeter for more than one month, remove
both batteries from the device to avoid possible leaking.
13. Storage
IMPORTANT:
Store the pulse oximeter in a dry place (relative humidity ≤ 95%). If the humidity is too
high it may shorten the service life of the pulse oximeter or damage it. Store the pulse
oximeter in a place where the ambient temperature is between -40°C and 60°C.
