Disinfecting
Procedures
1. Remove gross soil with a disposable cloth and place used cloth in an
appropriate biohazardous waste disposal container.
2. Clean tabletop as follows:
a. Articulate tabletop to level position and place at a comfortable working
height.
b. Remove tabletop pads by pulling upward to free them from hook fastener
strips (see Figure 6-1) and place on another table or other flat surface.
c. Holding can 6-8" (150-200 mm) from surface, spray cleaning fluid liberally
on top and sides of pads. Clean only one pad at a time.
NOTE: Follow manufacturer's label recommendations when using cleaning
fluids/disinfectants.
d. Wipe sprayed surfaces with a clean lint-free cloth dampened with water
to remove cleaning fluid. (Dampening cloth will minimize streaking.)
e. Wipe cleaned surfaces again with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth to remove
any remaining residue.
f. Wipe cleaned surfaces again with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to remove all
moisture.
g. Repeat Steps c, d, e, and f for bottom of pads.

on tabletop surfaces exposed when pads are removed.
i. Repeat Steps d, e, and f for tabletop surfaces exposed when pads are
removed.
j. Place pads back onto tabletop by aligning with sides of table and
pressing into place on hook fastener strips.
WARNING – INFECTION
HAZARD: To protect against
aerosols being reflected from
contaminated surfaces, wear
rubber or plastic gloves,
masks and eye protection and
follow OSHA blood-borne
pathogens standards when
cleaning.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
• When cleaning/disinfecting
table, do not use phenolics,
which may cause patient skin
burns if inadequately rinsed
off, or alcohol, which does
not have sufficient cleaning/
disinfection properties.
• When cleaning/disinfecting
table, thoroughly read the
cleaning fluid directions for
use and follow all directions
and cautions as shown.
• Cleaning procedures requir-
ing articulation of the table
should be performed only by
persons familiar with table
operation.
• After performing cleaning
procedures, ensure pads and
X-ray tops are completely dry
before reinstalling. Moisture
trapped between pads and X-
ray tops may contribute to
equipment damage, such as
X-ray top warpage.
