2� Use a soft, clean cloth lightly moistened with the cleaning solution to manually clean the surfaces� Pay special attention to cracks and
crevices�
3� Wipe thoroughly using a soft, clean cloth lightly moistened with warm tap water�
4� Dry with a soft, clean cloth�
If necessary, the footswitch may be immersed for cleaning as follows:
1� Immerse the footswitch and cordset (not the generator connector) in a neutral pH enzymatic detergent, prepared according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations�
2� Use a soft bristle brush or soft, clean cloth to manually clean the device in the detergent solution� Pay special attention to cracks and
crevices�
3� Rinse off detergent thoroughly using a soft clean cloth soaked with warm tap water or by placing the footswitch under running lukewarm
tap water�
4� Dry the device with a clean absorbent cloth�
Disinfecting
If the footswitch becomes contaminated with blood or bodily fluids, it must be wiped down with a disinfectant or immersed in disinfectant
before reuse� The following chemical disinfectants are approved for use with the footswitch: Isopropyl Alcohol - 70%, Sodium hypochlorite
solutions (0�25% - 0�50%), Cidex OPA, Dispatch, and Gigasept FF�
Disinfectants should be prepared and used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for use, concentration, and contact time�
The use of disinfectants other than those specified in these instructions should be assessed for material compatibility before using� At a
minimum, intermediate level* disinfectants should be used� Technical data sheets are typically available on the manufacturer’s web site to
assist in this assessment�
* ”Intermediate level” is a classication applicable in the US. Intermediate disinfectants kill viruses, mycobacteria, fungi, and vegetative
bacteria�
Any disinfection process including tools and solutions may influence the wear and tear of the device or equipment� In some instances,
changing to another disinfectant may be required�
Within the applied decontamination process ensure that the detergent or disinfectant residuals are completely removed after wipe down or
immersion� If detergent or disinfectant residuals remain, moisten a soft, clean cloth with purified or deionized water and wipe down affected
areas (multiple wipes may be required to remove any remaining residue), run affected areas under running lukewarm tap water or refer to the
manufacturer’s recommendations for the removal of the disinfectant residuals�
