NBP Cuff
Wipe the NPB cuff with a cloth moistened with soap and water or
a solution based on household bleach (1:10), gluteraldehyde,
alcohol, or phenol.
CAUTION: The NBP cuff can be immersed in cleaning solution,
but do not allow the solution to enter the NBP hose. The warranty is
void if cleaning solution is allowed to enter the hose or the cuff.
Temperature probes and cables
! Do not use excessive pressure or flex the cables as this can
stretch the covering and break the internal wires
! Clean the probes with a 3% hydrogen peroxide or 70% alco-
hol
! Quickly immerse the cables in a detergent solution
! Disinfect probes and cables with a gluteraldehyde-based dis-
infectant
! Make sure the probe’s tip is firmly connected.
CAUTION: Do not use phenol disinfectants because vinyl absorbs
them. Do not use strong aromatic, chlorinated, ketone, ether or
ester solvents. Do not immerse the cables for any prolonged period
in alcohol, mild organic solvents, or highly alkaline solutions.
STEPS: Sterilizing with ethylene oxide
1. Clean probe and coil the cable loosely before packaging it.
2. Follow standard hospital procedures and sterilize at a temper-
ature not exceeding 45 °C.
3. After sterilization, follow standard degassing procedure and
aerate the probe for 24 hours.
