Do not use abrasive cleaners as this could damage the surface of the equipment.
For cleaning, wipe with a clean cloth soaked in detergent solution and wring out.
Depending on the detergent
manufacturer’s
instructions the solution may be
heated.
Wipe all surfaces of the equipment and the cloth should be re-immersed
periodically and the detergent changed frequently. The detergent should be rinsed
or wiped off using a clean cloth immersed in clean water and wrung out.
To disinfect make sure the equipment has been cleaned and dried and then wipe
over with a clean cloth and a compatible liquid disinfectant. After disinfecting
clean with clean water and dry.
When using detergent or disinfectants then please refer to
manufacturers’
instructions and if unsure then consult your local Infection Control Specialist for
advice.
