Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Device
If your device will only be used by one client, routine cleaning
and disinfecting should be sufficient. If, however, multiple
clients will be using the device, take additional measures to
clean and disinfect the device after it has been used by one client
before allowing it to be used by another client.
Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting
To clean your device case and screen, turn the device off, wipe
with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water, and dry
with another soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not spray or splash liquid
directly on the device
.
To disinfect the case, moisten a clean cloth in a solution of 1/4
cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water.
Do not use vinegar and water
on the display
.
