Disinfecting/Cleaning
Use surface disinfectants. For surface compatibility, use
disinfectants based on:
– aldehydes,
– quaternary ammonium compounds.
To avoid the possibility of damage to material, do not use
any disinfectants based on:
– alkylamine-based compounds
– phenol-based compounds,
– halogen-releasing compounds,
– strong organic acids,
– oxygen-releasing compounds.
For users in the Federal Republic of Germany, we
recommend that only disinfectants on the current DGHM
list are used (DGHM: German Society for Hygiene and
Microbiology).
The DGHM list (published by mhp-Verlag, Wiesbaden)
also classifies each disinfectant by its active agents.
For countries where the DGHM list is not available, we
recommend the types of disinfectant given above.
Disinfectants often contain – besides their main active
agents – additives that can also damage materials.
If in doubt, ask the supplier/manufacturer of the
disinfectant/ cleaning agent.
A list of substances used is given on page 158.
