Safe-T-Shield™ VacTrac 

Model T2B1

9 - CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

For proper infection control, the exterior of all Safe-T-Shield components should be thoroughly 

disinfected after each use. These include the Shield, Manifold, Airflow Plate, and Suction Tube as 

detailed below. See page 21 for weekly cleaning procedures.

USE ONLY RECOMMENDED CLEANING COMPOUNDS AS DESCRIBED BELOW

RECOMMENDED DISINFECTION PRODUCTS

To more effectively capture patient exhalations and generated aerosols, the Shield is formed with a 

significant downward curve. The most effective material to create this form, while maintaining optical 

clarity and patient safety, is PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol). While PETG is a very durable 

material, some disinfectants in dental use may harm the finish or clarity of the Shield and Manifold. 

Though other components of the Safe-T-Shield may be less susceptible to residue or fogging, we 

recommend using only the cleaning solutions and disinfection products below on the 

entire

 unit to 

avoid accidental contact with the Shield and Manifold.
