VI. Maintenance and servicing
We recommend you cover the operating table with drapes
when it is not in use.
1. Cleaning
Avoid excessive use of water on the surfaces of the mo-
bile operating table.
Also avoid spraying joints with spray cleaning or disinfec-
tion equipment.
Pressurized jets of water or detergent can result in liquid
entering the gaps between joints and causing corrosion.
To clean the operating table and accessories, we recom-
mend you use a weak alkaline detergent (soap solution)
containing tensides and phosphates as active agents.
To clean the table, align the operating table horizontally
and move it to its highest position.
If surfaces are heavily soiled, use the detergent in con-
centrated form. Afterwards, wipe the surfaces with clean
water and remove any excess water with a dry cloth.
2. Disinfecting
To disinfect the operating table, we recommend you use
commercially available surface disinfectants on an alde-
hyde base in aqueous solution. Make sure you use an
agent that appears in the DGHM* list. Here, you can find
additional information on the individual constituents in the
disinfectants.
