Cleaning of the thermometers and appendages
We request you to clearly distinguish between the two following operations in order
to perform them separately:
• Mechanical cleaning with clean water of the equipment after its last use
• Disinfection of equipment by pre-soaking before new insertion into an
animal. After retrieving the thermometer, separate the appendages from the
thermometer body by parting the clips with the thumbs, then remove the large
particles by a first rinsing with clean water. Do not soak.
Cleaning of the thermometer body
This mechanical cleaning can be done with clean water or with neutral soap using a
soft bristle brush or a cloth towelette. Rinse the thermometer thoroughly.

Cleaning of the appendages
The appendages are also cleaned mechanically and this can be done in two different
ways:
• Cleaning in a linen washing machine [max 40° C (104° F)] in one of the nets
provided for the purpose
• Cleaning with clean water with a soft bristle brush
Make sure that the cleaned equipment is stored in the blue trunk.
Never use bleach solution, acidic or alkaline detergent or any iodised
product for cleaning and disinfecting thermometers and appendages.
