Cleaning the Applicators 

 

CAUTION: 

Due to the ends of the treatment applicators being 

constructed  of  clear  cast  acrylic  (PMMA),  it  is  not 
recommended  that  products  with  high  quantities  of  alcohol  be 
used to clean the applicators after use. Using alcohol can result 
in  the  applicator  end  tips  becoming  cloudy  and  cracked  in 
appearance. 

The  applicator  manufacturer  recommends  a  product  free  from  alcohol  be 
used  to  clean the applicators, such as Sterets Unisept®, a sterile aqueous 
solution containing chlorhexidine gluconate 0.05% w/v. 

If  you  have  any  queries  regarding  the  suitability  of  various  cleaning 
products, please contact Xstrahl Limited before using on the applicators. 

2.7 

Service Life and Disposal 

The X-ray tube contains a beryllium window.  At the end of the useful life 
of the X-Ray tube (with Be-window) must be disposed in accordance with 
your local regulations.  

Fumes or dust of Beryllium metal can be hazardous if inhaled. During use 
corrosion  deposition  on  the  Be-window  can  occur.  These  should  not  be 
scraped off, machined, or otherwise removed. 

Equipment  capable  of  producing  ionising  radiation  must  be  rendered 
inoperable before disposal.
