I Can't Believe this Happened! Should I Tell?

I got my new heart monitor two days ago to wear for two weeks. It attaches a chip to my chest above my heart. It has a wireless connection to a smartphone they gave me to use with it. Whenever I have an episode of anything happening with my heart, I can report it easily with the phone and it's recorded and sent to someone keeping track. I got my first opportunity to try it out that very night. I had a palpitation episode around 10:30 pm which lasted for a while. I pressed the button a few times, since I didn't know yet how often I needed to press it for a continuing episode. This one lasted until after 1 am. I took my extra half pill at 1. About midnight I got a phone call on my house phone from the people monitoring my device. They were letting me know they got the data and my doctor would probably contact me in the morning. They also answered some questions. I finally got to sleep about 2 am after my pill kicked in and the episode stopped abruptly. The doctor called in the morning and finally decided it really might be that I needed a higher dose of medication. So he said I should take three pills a day at 8-hour intervals instead of the two at 12-hour intervals. I had been suggesting that was the solution since these episodes started in October after he had changed my dosage to the lower dosage. I think everything will be fixed now, but time will tell. No new episodes since I changed the dosage yesterday. But here's what happened today. I'm supposed to keep the monitor with me at all times, so I had it in my pants pocket, just as I did yesterday, but it was a different pair of pants and the pocket was positioned differently. When I had to use the bathroom, I had a problem. When I got up from the throne, the phone fell out of my pocket. Guess where it landed! Really! The phone was in the case like it is in the photo above. I dried everything off, and used a disinfecting wipe to clean off the case. But I'm not quite sure how to sterilize the phone itself. It still works. But I don't want to do something that will harm the surface. I've never had a smartphone before. I'm not supposed to clean the screen with anything unapproved. I'm not sure if I should report what happened when I turn the phone in. They must have a way to disinfect it between patients. What would you do? Note: After this happened, I dug out my photographer's vest with lots of deep pockets you can close at the top. That's where my phone will go now when I'm at home.
