Generator G11 and Touchscreen
Cleaning
Clean the generator and the touchscreen following the hospital protocol� Before cleaning, turn the generator main power off and unplug the
power cord from the grounded electrical outlet�
Warning: Spilling or spraying fluids on or into the generator or immersing the generator may result in damage to the device and creates a risk
of shock or fire�
Proceed with cleaning as follows:
1� Prepare a neutral pH detergent or a neutral pH enzymatic detergent according to the manufacturer’s directions�
2� Use a soft, clean cloth lightly moistened with the cleaning solution to manually clean the surfaces� Pay special attention to cracks and
crevices�
3� Wipe thoroughly using a soft, clean cloth lightly moistened with warm tap water�
4� Dry with a soft, clean cloth�
Disinfecting
If the generator becomes contaminated with blood or bodily fluids, it must be wiped down with a disinfectant before reuse� The following
chemical disinfectants are approved for use with the generator: Isopropyl Alcohol - 70%, Sodium hypochlorite solutions (0�25% - 0�50%),
Cidex OPA, Dispatch and Gigasept FF�
Disinfectants should be prepared and used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for use, concentration, and contact time�
The use of disinfectants other than those specified in these instructions should be assessed for material compatibility before using� At a
minimum, intermediate level* disinfectants should be used� Technical data sheets are typically available on the manufacturer’s web site to
assist in this assessment�
* “Intermediate level” is a classification applicable in the US. Intermediate disinfectants kill viruses, mycobacteria, fungi, and vegetative
bacteria�
Any disinfection process including tools and solutions may influence the wear and tear of the device or equipment� In some instances,
changing to another disinfectant may be required�
Within the applied decontamination process ensure that the detergent or disinfectant residuals are completely removed after wipe down� If detergent
or disinfectant residuals remain, moisten a soft, clean cloth with purified or deionized water and wipe down affected areas (multiple wipes may be
required to remove any remaining residue) or refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for the removal of the disinfectant residuals�
