Operations & Maintenance Manual: Cleaning & Disinfecting
Cleaning and disinfecting this device is an important part of using and maintaining it. Prior to each use, ensure
the device has been cleaned and disinfected according to the following procedures.
Remove the device from the docking station or charging cradle to clean and disinfect it.
BEST PRACTICES
Cleaning is the removal of all visible soil or contaminants from the exterior surfaces of the device, and
disinfection is the process of destroying pathogenic organisms or rendering them inert. When cleaning,
ensure all foreign matter is removed. This allows the active ingredients of the chosen disinfection method to
reach all the surfaces of the device.
To significantly reduce the amount of effort needed to clean the system, do not let contaminants dry on any
system component. Contaminants tend to become securely attached to solid surfaces when dried, making
removal more difficult.
Change gloves as directed in the procedure or if gloves become soiled.
When using a wipe cleaning or disinfection method, please adhere to the following best practices:
• Always wipe in the direction from a clean surface towards a dirty surface.
• Minimize overlap on the wiping pattern.
• If a wipe becomes dry or soiled, replace it with a fresh one.
• Do not reuse dry or soiled wipes.
• Use a new wipe as instructed in the cleaning and disinfection procedures.
