Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilization
Cleaning Products Not Recommended for Use
Warnings:
•
Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) and quaternary ammonia-based
products ARE NOT RECOMMENDED for cleaning displays, monitors, and
cables. These chemicals attack the plastics used in patient monitors and
cables, and will cause serious safety hazards as the electrical insulating
properties and structural integrity of the equipment break down.
•
Cavicide, Virex, Virex 256, SaniCloth, and Sanicloth Plus are common
quaternary ammonia germicidal products. The manufacturers of these
solutions advertise that these germicidal products are safe for use on hard,
non-porous surfaces, such as linoleum floors, formica countertops, and
stainless steel. The manufacturers discourage the use of quaternary
ammonia germicidal products on computer-grade plastics and on data,
patient, and power cables, which are classified as porous materials.
Touchscreen Cleaning
Clean the touchscreen with a soft cloth moistened with either 70% isopropyl alcohol
solution or soapy water.
Notes:
• Follow your hospital protocol for the handling of blood and body fluids.
• Do not allow liquid to enter the display.
