Daily Cleaning and Disinfecting
Following are the cleaning and disinfecting instructions for environments that
require daily or more frequent cleaning to prevent the spread of germs, including
healthcare workers who need to disinfect their MCA models after each patient
visit and retail and other shift workers who share devices.
1.) Dampen a soft cloth with one of the approved cleaning agents listed above or
use pre-moistened wipes:
a.
Never apply liquid directly to the MCA models.
b.
Do not let liquid pool around the display window or any other area on
the device.
2.) Gently wipe all surfaces, including the front, back, sides, top and bottom -- do
not wrap the device in the cloth or pre-moistened wipe.
a. Special instructions when cleaning the front of the device:
Be sure to clean the keys and between the keys (use a
cotton-tipped applicator to reach between the keys).
After cleaning, immediately dry the display with a soft non-
abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
3.) Allow the unit to air dry before use.
