Cleaning and disinfection
Only personnel trained in the management of cleaning and disinfection of medical devices is authorized to
conduct such activities.
Perform regularly cleaning and disinfection operations of the equipment.
Below are the instructions.
Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply before proceeding with cleaning and
disinfection operations in order to avoid electrical shocks.
Avoid the seepage of water and liquids because it can cause short-circuits or corrosion of metallic
parts.
Cleaning and disinfection operations, even for the equipment and for the environment, must be in compliance
with all laws and norms in force in the country where the equipment is installed.
Cleaning
Enameled parts and aluminum surfaces must be cleaned only with a damp cloth and a mild detergent and then
with a dry woolen cloth. Never use scouring powders, solvents, abrasives detergents or polishing abrasive. Do
not use a special detergent if its properties are not sure.
Chromed parts must be cleaned only with a dry woolen cloth. Do not use polishing abrasives. To protect the
finish, use a nonabrasive wax.
Plastic surfaces must be cleaned only with soap and water. When using other cleaning agents ( for example
with a high alcohol content), the material can become opaque or can break.
Disinfection
The disinfection method used must be in compliance with all laws and norms in force for disinfection and
protection against explosions in force in the country where the equipment is installed.
All parts of the equipment suitable for this type of treatment, accessories and connection cables included, can
be disinfected with a damp cloth and a proper detergent. Never use disinfecting agents or corrosive sterilizers
or solvents.
Do not use a special disinfecting or sterilizing agent if its properties are not sure.
Do not use inflammable disinfectant spray or potentially explosive. Such sprays create gas that can
ignite, causing serious injuries or even death.
It is not recommended to disinfect using a spray in a room where there are medical products,
because the gas can penetrate the product, causing short-circuits, corrosion of metallic parts or other
damages the equipments.
If it is necessary to use non-inflammable and non-explosive sprays, first of all switch off and cool down the
equipment.
In this way the vaporized spray can't be attracted by convention currents inside the equipment. Before starting
spraying, it is necessary to cover carefully the product with plastic sheeting.
Once all traces of disinfecting spray disappear, it is possible to remove the protective plastic and directly
disinfect or sterilize the equipment following the recommended instructions.
After using a spray the user must be sure that every single trace of gas has disappeared before starting up the
equipment again.
