Disinfecting:
1. For heavily soiled surfaces, use a wipe to pre-clean the displaying unit prior to disinfecting.
2. Unfold a clean wipe and thoroughly wet the surface of the displaying unit.
3. The treated surfaces must remain visibly wet for a full two (2) minutes (or the time
recommended by the manufacturer of the disinfectant, at least 2 minutes).
Use additional wipes if needed to assure continuous 2 minutes wet contact time.
4. Let the displaying unit air dry.
Procedure 3 – Enzymatic detergent cleaning and alcohol disinfection
Cleaning:
1. Prepare a cleaning solution using a standard enzymatic detergent prepared per
manufacturers' recommendations. Recommended detergent: enzymatic,
mild pH: 7 – 9, low foaming (Enzol or equivalent).
2. Soak a sterile gauze in the enzymatic solution and make sure that the gauze is moist
and not dripping.
3. Thoroughly clean the button, external side of rubber covers, screen, external casing of
the monitor with the moist gauze. Avoid getting the displaying unit wet to prevent
damaging internal electronic components.
4. Wait for 10 minutes (or the time recommended by the manufacturer of the detergent)
to allow the enzymes to activate.
5. Wipe the displaying unit clean using sterile gauze that has been moistened with RO/DI
water. Ensure all traces of the detergent are removed.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5.
Disinfecting: Wipe the surfaces of the displaying unit for approximately 15 minutes using a
piece of sterile gauze moistened with the alcohol mixture indicated below (approximately
once every 2 minutes). Follow safety procedures for the handling of isopropyl. The gauze
should be moist and not dripping since liquid can affect the electronics inside the displaying
unit. Pay close attention to the button, external side of rubber covers, screen, external casing
and slots and gaps on the displaying unit. Use a sterile cotton swab for these areas.
Solution: Isopropyl (alcohol) 95 %; Concentration: 70 – 80 %; Preparation: 80 cc of 95 %
Isopropyl (alcohol) added to 20cc of purified water (PURW). Alternatively, use EPA-registered
hospital disinfection wipes containing at least 70 % isopropyl. Safety precautions and
directions of use of the manufacturer must be followed.
Note: After cleaning and disinfection, the displaying unit must be submitted to the pre-check procedure in
section 6.1. The specified cleaning and disinfection procedures show compliance with the AAMI TIR12 and
AAMI TIR30 guidelines.
11. Maintenance
The displaying unit shall be subject to preventive inspection prior to use according to section
6.1 and shall be cleaned and disinfected according to chapter 10.
No other preventive inspection, maintenance, or calibration activities are required for the
displaying unit.
11.1. Maintenance of battery
To prolong battery life it is recommended to fully charge the displaying unit at least every
third month. If the battery is discharged, the procedure can take up to 3 hours. The battery
should be charged at temperatures between 10 – 35 °C.
CAUTION: To avoid malfunction of the equipment only use spare parts supplied by Ambu.
