Cleaning, Disinfecting & Maintenance
Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and enables equipment to
function at its optimum.
Ensure that all equipment is removed from the trolley and that the Power distribution
socket is disconnected from mains supply.
Trolley should be hand-wiped using a suitable cleaning solution. For particularly grimy
cases, especially if the trolley has been in storage for a long period, it may be necessary to
first clean the trolley with a water-soluble solvent-soaked cloth.
Once cleaned, dry the trolley with a soft towel, paying particular attention to swivel and
sliding joints. If a compressed air hose is available, you may find that compressed air jets
are more effective in drying the hard-to-reach places.
Ensure no liquid enters the power distribution sockets.
