Probe Care Guide Probes normally last 3-6 months depending on frequency of use and care taken of them. To get the most out of your probe, follow the below advice.
- Do not bend or pull on the probe leads
- Avoid bending or putting pressure on the leads where the lead joins the plug or the probe
- Keep your probe and leads clean and dry when not in use
- Do not wrap leads around the probe, machine or other objects, this can put unnecessary strain on them
Cleaning
- It is important to clean and dry your probe before and after each use.
- Use an alcohol free anti-bacterial wipe or a cloth dampened with warm soapy water to clean the probe, and a clean towel or paper towel to dry.
Do not immerse the probe in a liquid. Do not use any other cleaning solution.
Storage
- Always make sure your probe is dry before storing.
- Keep the probe in your device storage pouch in a cool dry place.
