Maintenance and Care of Recorder, Leads and Cables
• Always remove the battery before cleaning the recorder.
• Do not leave batteries in the recorder for extended periods (more than two weeks) when the
recorder is not in use.
• Clean the outside of the recorder with a damp soft cloth between uses; use water and a
nonabrasive liquid soap, as required. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners, such as acetone, on
the outside of the recorder.
• Patient lead wires and cables should be cleaned and disinfected as required between uses, with
70 percent isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth to disinfect, and a non-abrasive liquid soap and
soft cloth to clean. Sterilization is not required.
• Disinfect as needed, following instructions from your infection control department. Sani-Cloth
germicidal surface wipes are recommended. Sterilization is not needed.
• Do not pull on or stretch the patient cables or lead wires when you clean them. This can cause
premature failure of the cable. Instead, lay the cable and attached wires on a clean, flat surface,
hold them down with one hand, and holding a cloth in the other hand, rub all surfaces of the
cable.
• Do not submerge the recorder or cables in water.
• Do not store the recorder at temperatures below 50 degrees F or above 110 degrees F (between
10 and 45 degrees C).
• At the end of their useful lives, all NorthEast Monitoring, Inc. products should be disposed of
following local ordinances.
