Cleaning and Disinfecting the Ultrasound System
The exterior surface of the ultrasound system and the accessories can be cleaned and disinfected
using a recommended cleaner or disinfectant.
To clean the touch screen:
Dampen a clean, non-abrasive, cotton cloth with an ammonia-based window cleaner, and wipe the
touch screen clean. It is recommended to apply the cleaning solution to the cloth rather than the
surface of the touch screen.
Warning:
To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning, disconnect the system from the power
supply or remove from the docking station or stand.
To avoid infection always use protective eyewear and gloves when performing
cleaning and disinfecting procedures.
To avoid infection, if a pre-mixed disinfection solution is used, observe the solution
expiration date, and ensure that the date has not passed.
To avoid infection, the level of disinfection required for a product is dictated by the
type of tissue it contacts during use. Ensure the solution strength and duration of
contact are appropriate for the equipment. For information, see the disinfectant
label instructions and the recommendations of the Association for Professionals in
Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and FDA.
Caution:
Do not spray cleaners or disinfectant directly on the system surfaces. Doing so may
cause solution to leak into the system, damaging the system and voiding the
warranty.
Do not use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since
these will damage the exterior surfaces.
Use only recommended cleaners or disinfectants on system surfaces.
Immersion-type disinfectants are not tested for use on system surfaces.
When you clean the system, ensure the solution does not get inside the system keys
or the battery compartment.
Do not scratch the touch screen.
