Appendix F
Disposal of Product Waste
As you use the PRO Monitor, you will accumulate solid
wastes that require proper disposal or recycling. These
include batteries, patient applied parts, and packaging
material.
Batteries
Caution: Do not incinerate batteries.
The sealed, rechargeable backup battery contains lead and
can be recycled. The rechargeable memory battery is of the
Nickel Metal Hydride form. Discharge this battery prior to
disposal. Place the battery in packaging which electrically
isolates its contents. Do not puncture or place the battery in
a trash compactor. Do not incinerate the battery or expose it
to fire or high temperatures. Dispose in accordance with
regional body controlled guideline.
Patient Applied Parts
Certain patient applied parts, such as those with adhesive
(disposable SpO
2
sensors), are intended for single use and
should be disposed of properly as medical waste in
accordance with regional body controlled guideline.
Other patient applied parts, such as blood pressure cuffs,
should be cleaned according to instructions. Inspect reusable
applied parts for wear, replace as necessary, and dispose of
used product as medical waste in accordance with regional
body controlled guideline.
Packaging Material
Retain original packaging materials for future use in storing
or shipping the Monitor and accessories. This
recommendation includes corrugated shippers and inserts.
Whenever possible recycle the packaging of accessories and
patient applied parts.
