Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Plastic surfaces must be cleaned only with a soap solution. If you use other agents (e.g., those
with a high alcohol content), the plastic will be damaged. Do not use corrosive, solvent, or abrasive
cleaning or polishing agents.
To clean:
• Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord before cleaning the device.
• Make sure that water or other fluids do not get inside the device.
• Painted parts and aluminum surfaces should be wiped only with a damp cloth and a mild
cleaning agent, and then wiped with a dry cloth.
• Wipe chrome parts with a dry cloth only.
Disinfecting
CAUTION: The EquiView Digital Radiography System must not be subject to a bath disinfection,
sterilized in an autoclave, or put into another device for sterilization. The EquiView Digital
Radiography System can be wiped with a disinfectant. Suitable disinfectants are listed below.
The method of disinfection applied must correspond to the applicable legal regulations and
guidelines on disinfecting and explosion protection. Do not use corrosive, solvent, or gaseous
disinfectants. If you use disinfectants that form an explosive gas mixture, they must evaporate first
before turning on the device again.
• Turn off the power before disinfecting the device.
• All parts of the device, including accessories and connecting cables, must be given only a
wiping disinfection.
• A spray disinfectant must not be used because it can enter the device.
If you use a room disinfectant atomizer, you must turn off the EquiView Digital Radiography System
and remove it from the area in which the spray disinfection is to be used. You can give the EquiView
Digital Radiography System a wiping disinfection in this case.
Maintenance
Maintenance consists of checks that the operator can perform and service performed by IDEXX
within the scope of service contracts or by service order or by persons expressly authorized by
IDEXX to perform such tasks.
Like all technical devices, the EquiView Digital Radiography System requires:
• Correct operation
• Regular inspection by the operator
• Regular maintenance and servicing
These measures help you maintain the working order and the operational reliability of your device.
As the operator of the device, you must abide by the regulations for prevention of accidents and the
local medical product law, as well as other regulations.
