Cleaning
WARNING:
Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Make sure that the oxygen supply to the incubator is turned off and that
the incubator is disconnected from the oxygen supply when performing
cleaning procedures. A fire and explosion hazard exists when cleaning
in an oxygen-enriched environment.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Unplug the unit from its power source. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture. Personal injury or
equipment damage could occur.
CAUTION:
Do not use harsh cleansers, such as scouring pads or heavy-duty
grease removers or solvents, such as acetone. Equipment damage
could occur.
If there is no visible soilage with possible body fluids, we recommend
that you clean the unit with a mild detergent and warm water. If
disinfection is desired, you may use a combination cleanser/disinfectant
as explained in “Disinfecting” on page 6-4.
At a minimum, thoroughly clean and disinfect the incubator upon
discharge of an infant. However, depending on individual facility policy,
perform this as often as daily, if desired. The most effective way to
clean is to first disassemble, and then group the parts and/or
assemblies in categories according to the method of cleaning required.
