Chapter 6 - Maintenance and cleaning
7.3.2 Cleaning before each patient
CAUTION
The patient should not touch the touch screen. The patient should only be in contact with
the forehead pad, chin pad and face pad.
Always follow the cleaning and disinfecting agents’ manufacturer’s instructions and
precautions; for storage, method of application, protective gloves, shelf life and disposal
to help assure effective and safe use of the product.
Do
NOT
attempt to wash or immerse the patient contact parts (for example, forehead
pad, chin pad and face pad) in water or cleaning fluid.
Do
NOT
use lint cloths, tissues, or other materials that may create dust, on or near the
scan head. Always allow cleaned areas to air-dry.
Do
NOT
let the cleaning wipes come into contact with the inside of the instrument.
The following cleaning procedures should be carried out before each session.
1. Clean the forehead pad, chin pad, face pad, dust cap, head and chin rest brackets with an
individually sealed, 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) wipe.
2. Allow the cleaned areas to air-dry before imaging the next patient.
Note
The wipes should be checked periodically to ensure that they are within their marked expiration date.
7.3.2.1 How to remove the head and chin rests
The head rest and chin rest may be removed for periodic cleaning by following these steps:
1. Stand in front of the device, hold both sides of the head or chin rest and pull towards you.
2. When the head or chin rest reaches the stops, gently lift the head or chin rest and pull to remove it
from the casing.
3. After cleaning, slot the head or chin rest back into the casing and gently push back into position.
7.3.3 Cleaning the main mirror
CAUTION
The mirror can be damaged during cleaning. Preventing mirror contamination reduces
the risk of damaging the mirror. It is
NOT
recommended to routinely clean the main
mirror. Only clean the mirror if dust particles, smudges or spots have accumulated on its
surface.
When cleaning the main mirror, do
NOT
rub the spots too hard, as this may cause
damage.
Do
NOT
touch the edges of the main mirror. The edges of the main mirror are sharp.
Only clean visible areas of the main mirror. Do
NOT
put your hand or any cleaning
material into parts of the device you cannot see.
Do
NOT
polish the mirror surfaces; clean only dust particles, smudges or spots.
Do
NOT
wear jewelry (for example rings, watches or bracelets) while cleaning the mirror
surface as this may damage the mirror.
Dispose of the dirty cloth after each wipe to avoid transferring the dust back on to the
mirror. You will have to use several wipes to clean the mirror.
