Housing
Cleaning: The housing and all cables can be cleaned using commercially available,
alcohol-free cleaning agents designed for plastics. Wipe the surface until the dirt is
removed using a soft cloth soaked according to the specifications of the manufacturer
of the cleaning agent so it is not dripping.
Disinfection: We recommend disinfecting the device at least once a week or upon
signs of contamination. Consult with your health professional when doing so. Always
perform cleaning prior to disinfection.
Housing can be disinfected using disinfectant wipes. To do so, use a commercially
available alcohol-fee disinfectant for metal and plastic, with bactericidal, virucidal and
fungicidal properties. Observe the application instructions of the manufacturer. Wipe
all surfaces using a soft cloth soaked according to the specifications of the
manufacturer of the disinfectant, but not dripping, or use pre-impregnated disinfectant
wipes (so called wipes). If applicable, also observe requirements for drying or post-
cleaning.
