Generator and Cart Cleaning
Clean generator and cart following hospital protocol. Before cleaning, turn the generator main power off and
unplug the power cord from the grounded electrical outlet.
Warning: Spilling or spraying fluids on or into the generator or immersing the generator may result in
damage to the generator and risk of shock or fire hazard.
Proceed with cleaning as follows:
1 Prepare a neutral pH detergent or neutral pH enzymatic detergent according to the detergent
manufacturer’s directions.
2 Use a soft, clean cloth lightly moistened with the cleaning solution to manually clean all surfaces
(including the generator’s display).
3 Rinse thoroughly using a soft, clean cloth lightly moistened with warm tap water.
4 Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Foot Switch Cleaning
The foot switch and cable should be cleaned after each use as follows:
1 Disconnect the foot switch from the generator.
2 Prepare a neutral pH enzymatic detergent according to the detergent manufacturer’s directions.
3 With the cable securely attached to the foot switch, soak the foot switch and cable in the detergent
solution for two minutes.
Note: Keep the foot switch cable connector that connects to the generator dry at all times to prevent
inadvertent activation.
4 After soaking, use a soft-bristled brush to manually clean the foot switch and cable keeping them
immersed in the detergent solution.
5 Thoroughly rinse the foot switch and cable – with the cable securely attached to the foot switch – with
warm, running tap water for at least one minute.
6 Dry all surfaces with a clean, soft cloth.
