CenterVue DRS disinfecting instructions Page 3 of 6
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the procedure recommended by CenterVue to disinfect the DRS
device. The procedure can be applied before each use if necessary. This manual also contains
suggestions to maximize safety of the operator against possible biohazards associated with the
subjects being tested.
The procedure described in this manual is different and more aggressive than
the regular cleaning procedure described in the device operating manual and
has been made available only because of the extraordinary circumstances
caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some parts of the device are not meant for frequent disinfection and may be
damaged and/or altered after some time.
Use of disinfectants other than indicated in this manual presents major
contraindications.
2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
The following precautions during use are particularly useful to reduce the need for device
disinfection:
• Have the subjects being tested and the operators of the device always wear a
mask
• Direct the subject being tested not to speak when placed in front of the device
• During the Covid-19 pandemic it is advisable to stop using the removable light
shield (also “hood”, see Fig. 3). As an alternative, disinfect it after each use by
spraying it with a disinfectant
