BIOPAC Systems, Inc. does not condone the use of its instruments for clinical medical applications. Instruments, components, and accessories provided by BIOPAC Systems, Inc. are not intended for the diagnosis, mitigation, treatment, cure, or prevention of disease.\u003Cbr>The MP data acquisition unit is an electrically isolated data acquisition system, designed for biophysical measurements.\u003Cbr>Exercise extreme caution when applying electrodes and taking bioelectric measurements while using the hardware with other external equipment that also uses electrodes or transducers that may make electrical contact with the Subject. Always assume that currents can flow between any electrodes or electrical contact points. Extreme caution is also required when performing general stimulation (electrical or otherwise) on a subject. Stimulation currents should not be allowed to pass through the heart. Keep stimulation electrodes far from the heart and located close together on the same side of the subject’s body.\u003Cbr>It is very important (in case of equipment failure) that significant currents are not allowed to pass through the heart. If electrocautery or defibrillation equipment is used, it is recommended that all BIOPAC Systems, Inc. instrumentation be disconnected from the Subject. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\nBIOPAC Hardware | Safety Notice | Page 1-1 Updated: 10.8.2015  \nCLEANING & DISINFECTING BIOPAC COMPONENTS  \nThe following disinfectants are recommended for LIQUID “COLD” sterilization of BIOPAC transducers:  \n• Cidex® / Cidex® OPA Disinfectant Solution, Johnson & Johnson  \n• Perform® Powder Disinfectant Concentrate, Schülke & Mayr  \n• Terralin®, Liquid Disinfectant Concentrate, Schülke & Mayr Recommended gas based method:  \n• Low temperature, Ethylene Oxide (EtO) gas sterilization  \n Always follow the manufacturer’s directions.  \nAFT Series  \n• All AFT components, with the exception of filters, will hold up to liquid and gas sterilization as specified in this document.  \nAFT25 Facemask  \n• See detailed guide shipped with the product; also available [at](at www.biopac.com)[ ](at www.biopac.com)[www.biopac.com](at www.biopac.com).  \nEL250 Series Electrodes  \n• Store electrodes in clean, dry area.  \n• After use, clean electrode with cold to tepid water  \n• DO NOT use hot water.  \n• Cotton swabs are suggested.  \n• Let the electrode dry completely before storing it.  \n• DO NOT allow the electrodes to come in contact with each other during storage.  \n• Electrodes may form a brown coating if they have not been used regularly. To remove the coating, gently polish the surface of the electrode element with non-metallic material or wipe it with mild ammonium hydroxide. Rinse with water and store the electrode in a clean, dry container.  \nWarning! Use of a Waterpik® or similar jet will drastically shorten the life of these electrodes and is not recommended.  \nGASSYS2  \n• See detailed guide shipped with the product; also available [at](at www.biopac.com)[ ](at www.biopac.com)[www.biopac.com](at www.biopac.com).  \nProbes  \n• Immersion temperature probes can be cleaned using standard liquid disinfectant methods, with direct immersion for the recommended period.  \n• Non-immersion probes can be wiped down with liquid disinfectant, alcohol, or sterilized using Ethylene oxide (EtO) .  \nRX137 Series Airflow Heads  \n• Thorough cleaning retains precise measurements. Disinfecting is only useful on a previously cleaned apparatus. Using a gas for disinfecting does not provide cleaning. An appropriate disinfectant solution can clean and disinfect simultaneously.  \n1. Immerse the apparatus in the liquid. It can be completely immersed since the electrical part is waterproof; a 30-to 60-minute b","cbCaitcOL5VadRND","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitcOL5VadRND","pdf",22658451,245,"English","# Cleaning & Disinfecting BIOPAC Components\n## Safety Notice\n## Recommended Disinfectants & Sterilization Methods\n## Component-Specific Cleaning Procedures","[{\"question\":\"What is the core safety warning when using BIOPAC instrumentation with other equipment?\",\"answer\":\"Exercise extreme caution because currents can flow between electrodes or electrical contact points.
