7 - 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, Suction Tube and
Housing as detailed below. See page 20 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.
