ATTENTION
Damage to drive caused by fluid
If cleaning fluid or disinfectant gets
inside the drive, this can corrode
the electrical and mechanical
components.
E Never immerse the drive in
cleaning fluid or disinfectant.
E Never use an autoclave or an
ultrasonic bath to clean the drive
and the connecting cable.
E Pay attention to compatibility of
materials when selecting cleaning
agents and disinfectants (see
thefollowing chapter “7.1 Material
compatibilities”).

Based on the following material com-
patibilities, you can assess which other
cleaning agents and disinfectants are
suitable.
E However, check the material
compatibility in an inconspicuous
location.
The anodized aluminum components of
the tattooing machine are resistant to:
• Weak acids (e.g. acetic acid ≤ 10%,
citric acid ≤10%)
• Aliphatic fluorocarbons (e.g. pentane,
hexane)
• Ethanol
• Most inorganic salts and their aqueous
solutions (e.g. sodium chloride,
calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate)
The anodized aluminum components of
the tattooing machine are not resistant
to:
• Strong acids (e.g. hydrochloric acid,
sulfuric acid, nitric acid)
• Oxidizing acids (e.g. peracetic acid)
• Lyes (e.g. caustic soda, ammonia and
all substances with a pH value >7)
