Cleaning and Disinfecting
This equipment should be cleaned frequently, particularly if corroding chemicals are present. Use a cloth
moistened in warm soapy water (use mild soap) to clean the trim and nameplate of the Operator’s
Controls. Wipe with a cloth moistened in clean water.
Do not use cleaners or solvents of any kind as they may dull the finish or blur the lettering. Polish with a
pure liquid or paste wax. Other surfaces of the equipment can be cleaned using a clean cloth moistened
slightly with a good mild cleaner and polish acceptable for use on enameled metal surfaces. Before each
use, equipment surfaces that contact the patient should be cleaned with an EPA registered, low-level
disinfection or sanitizing agent.
CAUTION:
In the event of equipment contacting broken skin or being used with infected or immune
compromised patients, the equipment should be cleaned using EPA cleared and EPA
registered high-level disinfecting agents.
NOTE:
Be sure to follow the label instructions and pre-cautions for use, storage, and disposal of all
disinfecting agents.
NOTE:
Clean the surface of the PC with a damp cloth.
