12 Cleaning and Disinfection
Before cleaning and disinfecting, switch off The Fischer
®
and unplug it. Clean
the main control unit, water bath trays and electrodes with a damp cloth.
For hygienic reasons, clean foam inserts, sponge pad sleeves, and silicone-
graphite electrodes after every treatment session under running water (max. 30°
C, 86° F). To this end, remove the silicon electrodes from the sponge pads.
Afterwards, wring the sponge pads and foam inserts out and let them dry. Dry
the silicone-graphite electrodes with a cloth.
If necessary, you can machine wash the sponge pad sleeves, foam inserts, and
storage bag (max. 30° C, 86° F). A subsequent centrifuging or spinning is to be
avoided by all means – items should be drip-dried. Due to its textile structure,
the sponge pads should only be washed if needed so as not to unnecessarily
shorten its service life.
If The Fischer
®
is being used by several patients, the sponge pad sleeves and
foam inserts may only be used to treat a single user. The other components,
such as the water bath trays, silicone-graphite electrodes, the cables, and the
control unit must be cleaned and disinfected before any patient change, in order
to prevent infections between patients. The following disinfectants can be used
for this purpose:
• Cavi Wipes (wiping disinfection)
• Microzid sensitive liquid (wiping disinfection)
• Sani Cloth Active (wiping disinfection)
Refer to the application instructions on the respective disinfectants. Otherwise,
only cleaning products suitable for acrylic glass are to be used.
13 Transport and Storage
After each treatment, wring out the foam inserts and sponge pads thoroughly. It
is essential to dry the silicone-graphite electrodes and water bath trays after
every treatment to prevent calcium deposits on the electrodes. Please only store
completely dry accessories in the trays.
