General information on cleaning and disinfection
After use, all parts which come into contact with the patient (rinsing connection, jet connection, hose tips) must be
removed and disinfected or autoclaved! You may use all cleansers and disinfectants listed in section 5.2.
The surfaces of the Aquamatic™ II resist most of the common surface disinfectants.
However, do not use
–
disinfectants containing concentrated organic or inorganic acids or bases, since these may cause corrosion damage;
–
disinfectants containing chloramides, phenol derivatives or anionic tensides, since these may cause stress cracks in
the plastic material used for the housing of the unit.
For cleaning and disinfection, you may also use disinfectant sprays or disinfectant tissues.
Important
•
Switch off the unit by the main power switch before starting cleaning and disinfection.
Wipe the unit surface with a cloth moistened with a cleaning or disinfecting solution. Make sure that no liquid penetrates
the unit. You may use all cleansers and disinfectants listed in
Recommended surface disinfectants
.
Important
•
Always observe the instructions for use by the manufacturer of the disinfectants, above all, concentration
specifications.
Important
•
The above measures for cleaning and sterilizing do not replace the respective precautions for operating
the unit.
