SLS PCS for extended periods of time will cause damage. Never use petroleum-based
solutions or abrasive cleansers.
• Never use abrasive material.
• Always dilute cleaning agents according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or use the
lowest possible concentration.
• Do not allow the cleaning agent to remain on the device surfaces. Wipe it off immediately
with a lint-free cloth moistened with water.
For cleaning instructions, refer to “Cleaning the Enclosure”.
It is recommended that you disinfect the product only when necessary as determined by your
hospital’s policy, to avoid long-term damage to the product.
The device must be cleaned first, as described in “Cleaning the Enclosure”, before using a
general disinfecting agent.
Cleaning the Enclosure
WARNING Always power off the system before cleaning. An electrical shock could occur if the
system is powered on and liquid is spilled into it.
To clean the system’s enclosure, use a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with either
warm water and mild soap, a diluted non-caustic detergent, or one of the following
approved cleaning agents:
Ammonia: Dilution of Ammonia <3%
Alcohol: Ethanol 70%, Isopropanol 70%.
• Over time, ink overspray might gather at the base of the device. The device uses a vacuum
system to gather most of this ink on a series of saturation pads.
• Eventually, these pads might need to be replaced. Contact Codonics Technical Support to
determine if pad replacement is necessary.
• If ink has gotten onto the system’s enclosure, it can be cleaned with an ammonia based
window cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
• If scanning barcodes is inconsistent or the device is having difficulty scanning, clean the
scanner’s glass window.
