Cleaning and disinfection
Before cleaning remove all accessories.
Clean stains as soon as possible.
In order to keep the surfaces in good condition do the cleaning regularly. Do cleaning/disinfectant always between
patients. Do more thorough cleaning once a month. Follow the cleaning/disinfecting instructions given by the
respective facility.
4.1
Metal and plastic surfaces
Clean the metal and plastic surfaces and with a damp cloth and weak alkaline cleaning fluid. Use small brush for
corners and other difficult spots. Rinse with clean water and dry carefully after cleaning. Do not use excessive fluids.
Use disinfectant (alcohol or chlorine)
and follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for use. Let dry by
evaporation in room temperature.
Plastic surfaces (ABS, HDPE, PP) are highly resistant to chemicals. Plastic is resistant to bleaching agents (alkaline
compounds), dilute organic or inorganic acids. Also solvents and cleaning agents may be used.
Plastic surfaces may get damaged if aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene and its derivates), ketones, ethers, esters and
chlorinated hydrocarbons are used. Plastic might also deteriorate if it is exposed to various chemicals at the same
time.
Stainless steel surfaces are highly resistant to chemicals. Use for mild detergent solution for cleaning. Ammonia and
most of the solvents can be used to remove difficult stains. Avoid chlorine based solutions.
Painted or chromed metal surfaces can be cleaned with mild detergent. They are also highly resistant to chemicals. Do
not use harsh abrasive powders on these surfaces.
All surfaces must be dry before using the device.
Do not use water spray (shower, high-pressure water guns) for cleaning.
Do not clean in high temperature and air humidity.
Do not expose the device to excessive moisture which can result in liquid pooling.
Do not use solvents or petrol for cleaning. Do not use acids for cleaning.
Dry all surfaces thoroughly after cleaning or disinfection.
Disinfecting wears out the surfaces. After disinfecting clean the surfaces with clean, damp cloth. Dilute
the disinfectant according to the manufacturer’s instructio
ns.
Recommendable cleaning agent: Lojer Desiplint (1:10), which is effective against bacteria without drying the
upholstery material.
Repeat the cleaning procedure if necessary. (Composition of Lojer Desiplint: Chlorhexidine-digluconate 0,1
–
0,2 %,
water 99,8 %.)
After disinfecting, wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth after disinfecting.
Dried substances or substances that have penetrated for an extended period may not be able to be removed
completely
