9.7 DISINFECTING & RE-USING A POWER WHEELCHAIR
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used (passing on to another user), it must be carefully cleaned
and disinfected. All surfaces which come into contact with the user must be treated with a
disinfecting product.
Many disinfecting products are commercially available and must be used according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Before using any products on the wheelchair, test on a small
area to ensure the disinfecting product is compatible with the wheelchair materials.
LOGO SILVER recommends using one of the following solutions:
• (AHP) Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide disinfectant-based solution.
• Rapid alcohol-based solution
• Alkyl Dimethyl/Dimethyl ethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides-based solution.
WARNING!
Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents or
aerosols.
Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specifi ed by the manufacturer.
Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried thoroughly.
Always read the label on any commercial or domestic cleaning
substances.
Always follow the instructions carefully.
WARNING!
LOGO SILVER takes no responsibility for the effectiveness of the
disinfecting process, for contamination, cross infection or damage
to the product.
