4. Care instructions

4.1 General information

The cleaning and disinfection of medical devices serves to protect the patient,
user, and third parties, and to maintain the integrity of the devices. Due to
the product design and materials used, no defined limit of max. feasible re-
processing cycles can be set. The lifespan of medical devices is determined by
their safe use and careful handling. Before being returned for repair, defective
products must have gone through the reprocessing procedure.
For all reusable devices, if there are signs of material deterioration, the device
should not be used and must be disposed of in accordance with the procedure
described under disposal/warranty.
To avoid possible cross-contamination, devices must be cleaned and disinfec-
ted regularly.
The outside of the devices can be cleaned with a damp cloth (moistened with
alcohol if necessary) until visual cleanliness is achieved. Use disinfectants (e.g.
Bacillol AF by the company Bode Chemie GmbH / time 30s) only as per the
manufacturer's specifications. Only disinfectants with proven effectiveness ac-
cording to national guidelines should be used. After disinfection, please wipe
the device with a damp cloth to remove any disinfectant residue.
Please make sure that the cloth is moistened, NOT wet, so no moisture pene-
trates the openings of the devices.
Make sure the glass cover is only cleaned with a dry and clean cloth.

4.2 Cleaning and disinfection

After removing the pad, the cuff cover canbe machine washed periodically but
should not exceed 60 °C, (140' F) which could adversely affect the cover's life-
span. After hand washing, smooth the cuff with the hand.
The cuff cover must not be ironed!
Never expose the cuff to intense sunlight!
Avoid touching the cuff cover, bulb, pad or the tubes with pointed objects!
When using 70% isopropyl alcohol, ensure that the room is well ventilated!
Do not use in the vicinity of fire-triggering devices or fire.
Never place the metpak in liquids!
The article is not approved for machine reprocessing and sterilization. This will
lead to irreparable damage!
