7. Cleaning
7.1 General
Observe the following precautions to perform cleaning procedures and to provide proper
hygiene within the patient area.
•
Before cleaning any part of the iPan system, refer to the manufacturer’s service
guide for proper turn off / power disconnection at the host panoramic machine.
Also ensure that the CAT-5 cable from the iPan Power supply is disconnected,
and that the PC workstation is turned off.
•
Use a soft, lint-free cloth when wiping exterior surfaces of the iPan equipment.
For stronger action, use a neutral soap to clean coated surfaces.
•
Make sure that water or other liquids do not seep into the iPan equipment, causing
potential damage to internal, electrical, and mechanical components.
•
Never use solvents (such as alcohol and Trichloroethylene), corrosive, or abrasive
substances when cleaning.
When the surfaces that were cleaned have dried sufficiently, connect and restore power to
the system, following the turn-on procedures provided in this document (
Section 5.2
) or
in the appropriate service guide.
7.2 USB
Interface
To clean the iPan USB Interface, apply a small amount of water or isopropyl alcohol
(70%) to a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Wipe down the device, exercising care when
cleaning around the connectors and contacts. After cleaning, inspect the iPan USB
Interface to ensure that all surfaces are clean and free of unwanted particles.
7.3 Power
Supply
To clean and disinfect the Power Supply, use a clean lint-free cloth and a small amount of
alcohol. Although the iPan USB Interface is enclosed to protect its components, it is not
watertight, so be sure to use only enough solution to clean the unit safely.
