Cleaning and disinfection
NOTE
Caution
Changes to material are possible!
Pay attention that, during cleaning and/ or disinfection, no fluids find their way into the main housing
of the X-ray system table. This reduces the risk of short circuits and corrosion.
5.2.1
Cleaning
Cleaning of the PROGNOST F is very easy due to its high-quality surface coating. As a rule, this can be
done with a dry cloth.
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.
Clean the outer surfaces of the unit and all painted components using a damp towel and a mild – light
alkaline cleaning agent (e.g. RBS* Neutral T). Dry the components off following cleaning.
Chrome components should be cleaned by being wiped down with a dry wool cloth.
5.2.2
Disinfection
Disinfection must be performed in accordance with the applicable legal requirements and guidelines
corresponding to disinfection and explosion protection.
For reasons related to safety, the use of spray disinfection is not allowed. The mist from such
disinfection dispenser systems can find its way into the unit, resulting in short circuiting and/ or
corrosive build up.
All components within the X-ray system table PROGNOST F, including unit accessories, should undergo
a wipe down disinfection using appropriate surface disinfection agents (e.g. Melsept* SF, 15 min.
reaction time with a concentration of 2%). The information provided by the disinfectant manufacturer
in regard to concentration and reaction time must be closely followed.
No disinfection agent, which is classified as flammable, can be utilized.
Should explosive gas and / or vapors be created through the use of the chosen disinfection agents, the
unit can only be switched on when the gas/vapors have 100% dispersed.
