Most clinics have existing Pronto units which have been set up according to the procedure in the lab manual. If you believe your Pronto is in need of service, or has not been set up correctly, please inform your supervisor. If you are asked to set up a new Pronto, you may refer to the lab manual.

The Pronto requires cleaning at least once daily, and should be cleaned immediately if you notice debris or grime. It is recommended to spray cleanser on a cloth and NOT directly on the Masimo. The outer surface of the Pronto can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with soap and a warm water solution. Other appropriate cleaning agents include commercial products such as Cidex Plus (3.4% Glutaraldehyde), 0.25% Ammonium Chloride, 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, or by preparing a 10% Bleach solution. Do not allow liquids to enter the interior of the Pronto. Do not autoclave, pressure sterilize, or gas sterilize the Pronto. Do not soak or immerse the Pronto in any liquid. Do not use petroleum based or acetone solutions, or other harsh solvents, to clean the Pronto.
