Cleaning Exterior Surfaces - HP Codemaster 100 User Manual

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces

The HP CodeMaster 100 and accessories (except the ECG cable and carry
bag) are chemically resistant to common hospital cleaning solutions and
non-caustic detergents. The following list includes some approved cleaning
solutions:
• 90% Isopropyl alcohol (except adapters and patient cable)
• Soap and water
• Chlorine bleach (30 ml/l water)
The following list includes practices for keeping the HP CodeMaster 100
exterior surfaces clean:
• Keep the outside of the instrument clean and free of dust and dirt. Clean the
paddles thoroughly to prevent build-up of dried electrolyte medium.
• Do not allow any fluids to penetrate the instrument case. Avoid pouring
fluid on the unit while cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, or strong solvents such as acetone or ace-
tone-based compounds.
• Clean the display screen carefully. It is especially sensitive to rough
handling and subject to scratching.
• Do not steam sterilize the monitoring leads, submerge them for prolonged
periods, or heat them above 50°C. If metallic surfaces become oxidized,
clean them with a very light abrasive (toothpaste). Do not use highly
abrasive cleaners such as steel wool or silver polish.
• Do not steam or gas sterilize the external paddle set.
