Use and Maintenance
The temperature probe can be cleaned with ordinary detergents
either by wiping it clean with a soft cloth or machine washing at
e.g.  80ºC ~ 176ºF.

 
Disinfecting
Without changing the features of the soft and smooth structure,
the probes are accepting all generally applied  hospital disinfectants like ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or chlorite compounds.
 
Typical examples
Disinfect the cleaned probe with a disinfectant such as  
A. Rodalon™, Cidex™.
B. 1 - 2,5% Formaldehyde solution.
C. 70% Alcohol, 0,5% Chlorexidine, 29,5% H2O  
 
Sterilization
