Maintenance: Cleaning

Cleaning the Welch Allyn probe and probe well

Units that are in service on a regular basis should have the following preventive 
maintenance performed every six months:

1. Visually inspect the thermometer probe for any physical damage that might 

cause future product failure.

2. Clean the probe and the probe well according to instructions below. Use an 

alcohol-based cleaning agent on the Welch Allyn metal probe or plastic 
section of the probe only.

As needed, clean the probe with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution or a 10% 
chlorine bleach solution or a nonstaining disinfectant such as CaviCide

®

 or its 

equivalent.

Do not immerse or soak the probe in any type of fluid. Do not use steam, 
heat or gas sterilization on the probe. Do not autoclave the probe.

Never immerse any monitor accessories.

1. Remove the probe well from the unit.

2. Unplug the latching probe connector to prevent the monitor 

from consuming battery power while you are cleaning the 
probe well.

3. Clean the inner surface of the probe well by swabbing the 

surface with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent 
solution or a 70% isopropyl alcohol, or a 10% chlorine bleach solution, or a 
nonstaining disinfectant such as CaviCide

®

 or its equivalent.

4. Clean the probe well’s outer surface by swabbing or wiping the surface with 

one of the solutions mentioned above. Immerse the probe well in mild 
detergent solution as necessary for cleaning.

5. Thoroughly dry all surfaces before re-assembling the instrument.

6. Reconnect the latching probe connector to the monitor. Ensure that the 

connector snaps into place.

7. Reinstall the probe well in the monitor and snap the probe well into place.

8. Insert the probe into the probe well.
