7.1 Care
1.
Clean the mobile workstation with a soft cloth or gauze moistened with a neutral detergent,
then wipe over with a cloth dampened with 70% alcohol.
2.
The umbilical holders should be removed and cleaned/sterilised before use by autoclaving
(to a maximum of 138
°
C (280
°
F)) or disinfected by cold fluid immersion following solution
manufacturer’s instructions.
To remove the umbilical holder, squeeze and rotate to the left or right to disengage from the
tabs on the bracket. To replace, locate the left or right side onto the tab and rotate into the
holder until the second tab engages.
WARNING
• Should the equipment become soiled with blood or other potentially
infectious materials, first wipe off all gross debris and then
decontaminate the equipment using a surface disinfectant, otherwise,
blood, mucus and other potentially infectious material from the patient
could pose an infection risk. Confirm that the equipment is completely
dry before use.
• Use personal protective equipment to guard against dangerous
chemicals and potentially infectious material, otherwise, blood, mucus
and other potentially infectious material from the patient could pose an
infection risk. During cleaning, wear appropriate protective equipment,
such as eye wear, face mask, moisture-resistant clothing and chemical-
resistant gloves that fit properly and are long enough so that your skin is
not exposed.
