User 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 enamelled metal surfaces.
Before each use, equipment surfaces that contact the patient should be cleaned
with an EPA registered, low–level disinfecting or sanitizing agent.
