CAUTION
Biting down on the sensor or cable will damage the housing and/or
cable and lead to a sensor malfunction. We highly recommend using
the DEXIS Titanium sensor holders as they are designed to protect
the sensor. However, should you choose to NOT use a DEXIS
Titanium sensor holder, you must protect the sensor and the cable.
• Do not roll over the cables with any wheeled items such carts or chairs.
• Do not allow the sensor cable to be pinched in a drawer, door, or cabinet.
• Do not twist, coil, or wrap the sensor cable tightly around any object.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the sensor cable connector.
• Do not drop the sensor.
• Do not clamp the sensor with devices that exert excessive force (for ex-
ample, hemostats or clamps of any type).
• Do not autoclave the sensor.
CAUTION
Do not autoclave sensor. Autoclave sterilizers will permanently
damage the sensor.
• Disinfect the sensor and cable in accordance with CDC – or your country's
(e.g., OSAP) standards – for infection control. DEXIS recommends wiping
the DEXIS Titanium sensor with one of the following cleaning agents:
• CaviCide® (Manufactured by Metrex)
• CaViWipes
(Distributed by Kerr)
TM
• ProSpray
(manufactured by Certol)
tm
• Sani-Cloth® Plus, HB (Manufactured by PDI)
CAUTION
The sheath must be removed after each patient. The sensor must be
cleaned and disinfected after each patient by following Cleaning
Agent guidelines.
