Cleaning Solutions and Materials for Stainless Steel Endoscope Cabinets
Stainless steel Endoscope Cabinets must be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent any unnecessary damage to
the stainless steel surfaces and to prevent contamination. Spilled liquids and standing water should be cleaned
up immediately.
When cleaning stainless steel Endoscope Cabinets, make sure to use the proper, approved cleaning agents
and cleaning materials to protect the surface and prevent damage or corrosion.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
• Using a damp, lint-free cloth and approved
cleaner, wipe down the entire exterior surface
of the stainless steel endoscope cabinet. Using a
damp, lint-free cloth with distilled water and a mild
detergent, wipe down the entire exterior surface
of the stainless steel scope cabinets.
• Clean the Endoscope Cabinet with the stainless
steel surface grain as shown here.
• Let the cleaned Endoscope Cabinet air dry. For
power vented models, close the doors and run the
circulation fan.
Disinfecting Stainless Steel
• Use a hospital grade non-bleach disinfectant.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instruction for
proper use of these products.
Cleaning the Endoscope Cabinet Interior:
• Unplug power vented models to remove the
Endoscope Cabinet from its power supply.
• Clean and disinfect the plastic endoscope hanger
racks and cable retainers.
• Using a damp, lint-free cloth and approved
cleaner, wipe down the interior of the cabinet.
