Steam Cleaning
Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture
can damage mechanisms in this unit.
Cleaning Hard to Clean Spots
To remove difficult spots or stains, we recommend that you use
standard household cleansers and a soft-bristled brush. To loosen
heavy, dried-on soil, you may first need to saturate the spot.
Disinfecting
When there is visible soilage and between patients, we recommend that
you disinfect the unit with a tuberculocidal disinfectant. (For customers
in the US, the disinfectant should be registered with the Environmental
Protection Agency.)
Dilute and use the disinfectant according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not spray the disinfectant onto power cord terminals or control
switches.
Using Cleaning Agents
Use a tuberculocidal cleanser/disinfectant registered by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (US only), but only after the
incubator is empty and disassembled (see “Disassembly and Assembly
for Cleaning” on page 6-28). After removing all solid wastes and
contaminants from the disassembled parts, clean them as follows:
Skin Temperature Probe
Using an appropriate cleanser/disinfectant, thoroughly clean the skin
temperature probe, and then wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Access Door Gaskets and Tubing Access Ports
Using an appropriate cleanser/disinfectant, thoroughly clean all
surfaces, and then wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel.
