12. Recommended Cleaning Instruction
General cleaning
The exterior of the Raiser can be cleaned using a damp soapy cloth for general
cleaning duties. Ensure the exterior of the device is dry after cleaning, dry
using a clean dry cloth.
Disinfecting (if necessary)
Should the Raiser require a more thorough clean, the use of the Actichlor
disinfectant product, which is widely available in tablet form and used
throughout the healthcare industry, is recommended for use to ensure a
thorough clean.
• Please follow the manufacturers safety instruction for the use of the
cleaning product before use to ensure safe use for the operator and the
patient.
Application is through a clean soaked (but damp) cloth applied to
wipe the device down
Used in the following dilutions to ensure an effective clean:
• Actichlor dissolvable chlorine tablets provide a concentration of
1000 ppm of available chlorine (0.1%) per 1 tablet
• 1 tablet (1.7g formed tablet (x1)) will create a virucidal solution,
diluted in 1 litre of water to provide effective means to clean a
“Dirty” device. This is also ideal for use after an outbreak of the
Norovirus / winter vomiting and can be used as a precaution
against C.Diff. It is effective against viruses, bacteria, spores,
yeasts and moulds.
• The contact time against the outer components of the device
should be for 5 minutes to prevent any virucidal infections without
a degradation to the functionality of the device. 5 minutes is a
recommended contact time. The device can withstand a longer
contact period but the 5 minute recommendation as a minimum
must be followed to provide an effective cleaning regime.
• Blood spills should be dealt with by an increased concentration of
the solution – please refer to the instructions on the
manufacturers product labelling.
