Safety and Maintenance
9.1
Introduction
In this chapter, you will find details regarding safety and maintenance, which is required to ensure the
correct and reliable function of the system after the initial installation.
9.2
Cleaning and disinfection
The flat panel receptor and connected cables are likely to be soiled during use. The specific material
most likely to become soiled is the X-ray grade carbon fibre input window and aluminium/magnesium
housing.
Cleaning and disinfecting of the input window should be performed as needed. Wiping the surfaces
with a soft cloth dampened with soap and water will generally clean the surfaces.
Proper disinfection requires that a disinfectant solution be used; such as Sani-Cloth® Plus, a hospital
grade, EPA registered low to intermediate-level product for hard, non-porous surfaces and equipment.
Use disinfectants in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, the below chemical
cleaning solutions may also be used.
Cleaning and disinfecting of the battery and battery compartment should also be performed as needed
using the same practices described above. Care should be taken when cleaning the battery contacts,
use a non-abrasive cleaner that will not damage the copper contact material.
The battery charger can be cleaned with a wet cloth using one of the chemicals below. The battery
charger cannot be submerged any time during cleaning.
Chemical Cleaning Solutions Recommended:
-
Isopropyl alcohol, 70% aqueous solution.
-
Mild soap and water.
-
Chlorine bleach, 3% aqueous solution.
Do not clean electrical contacts or connector with bleach.
-
Quaternary ammonium compounds, such as Steris “Coverage Plus NPD” (one part Coverage
Plus NPD to 255 parts water).
-
CaviWipes®.
Use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
Caution!
The use of corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents as well as solvents is not
allowed. These materials can cause damage to the outer surface of the unit or to
the coating of the individual components.
Do not use an excessive amount of ethanol (or neutral detergent), as doing so
may allow the liquid to enter from the gap on the outer surfaces, resulting in the
damage to the flat panel sensor, or cause the labels to come off.
Do not use a solvent such as thinner or benzine, as it corrodes the outer surfaces.
