The following procedures are not guaranteed to control infection. Consult the hospital infection-control administrator or
epidemiologist regarding specific cleaning procedures and processes.
Always unplug the T7 and power it down before cleaning.
All exterior surfaces, excluding electrical components, will withstand cleaning by most commonly
used, diluted, non-abrasive solutions such as quaternary ammonium compounds, ammonia, enzyme
cleaners, bleach and alcohol solutions.
Pen and permanent and dry-erase marker can be removed with 91% isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.
Iodine stains can be removed with commonly used cleaners and a soft cloth.
Never clean the T7 with steel wool or other abrasive materials that will damage the surface finish.
Do not rub a wet or damp cloth over any electrical components. Do not immerse
the T7 or its components in liquid or allow liquids to flow into internal compartments
or over any electrical components. Thoroughly dry all surfaces after cleaning.
Do not use flammable cleaners on T7 surfaces due to close proximity of electrical
power and equipment.
It is recommended that any cleaning solution be tested on a small, inconspicuous area
to ensure surface is not harmed.
