Cleaning/Disinfection
24.2.1
General Cleaning
For general use, use a clean non-abrasive cloth, not paper towels, and a mild cleaning solution
such as Dawn Liquid Dishwashing Soap to gently wipe down the exterior of the device.
24.2.2
Low-Level Disinfection
To reduce micro-organisms on the patient-contacting surfaces, disinfect these surfaces between
uses of the device, including when the same patient has the device for use. For disinfection while
the same patient uses the device, we have tested several cleaners that do not degrade the Acrylic
and can be seen in Table 6 Daavlin Tested Cleaners.
