CAUTION
When cleaning and disinfecting the tympanic temperature module, follow these general precautions:
• Do not soak, rinse, spray, or submerge the thermometer.
• Do not use a cleaning agent that contains chlorine.
• Never spray the thermometer directly with cleaning chemicals. Spray a cloth or sponge lightly dampening it with the cleaning agent and then apply it to the thermometer.
• The thermometer is a non-sterile device; do not use ethylene oxide gas, heat, or any other harsh method to sterilize the thermometer.
• Do not immerse or autoclave the thermometer.
• Do not use cleaners such as Spray-Nine™, Phisohex™, Hibiclens™, Vesta-Syde™, Anios DDSH™, Sufanios Citroen™, Perasafe powder™, Sekusept Pulver, Classic™, Sekulyse™, Diesin HG™, Incides N™, or SurfaSafe™ disinfectants because they may result in damage to the thermometer case or electronics. Prolonged or repeated use of these chemicals may result in damage to the thermometer case, display, or electronics.
• When cleaning the thermometer with a wipe, make sure the wipe has all excess fluid squeezed from it. If the wipe is too wet, the chemical may penetrate the handset and affect the thermometer’s functionality.
• Never use an abrasive pad or an abrasive cleaner.
