9.1 CLEANING OF THE DIAMOND UNIT
WARNING!
Before cleaning and disinfecting, disconnect all power from the
equipment.
WARNING!
Do not allow liquids to enter the unit.
ALL parts of the unit that come in contact with the patient must be
cleaned and disinfected prior to each examination. Cleaning of the unit is
especially important after biopsy procedures (refer to biopsy device user
manual for cleaning procedure).
The standard hospital regimen for disinfection should be followed, with
the following qualifications:
DO NOT clean surfaces on parts, which come into contact with the patient
(i.e., face shield, cassette holders, Bucky devices, compression paddles)
with solvent-based cleaners (containing benzene, alcohol, or stain
removers).
DO NOT use extra-strength or abrasive cleaners, polishes, or waxes on
parts that come into contact with the patient.
Proprietary disinfectant solutions meeting the above limitations are
suitable, provided that the manufacturer’s instructions are stringently
followed. DO NOT immerse the Bucky in disinfectant solution.
As a general rule, disinfectant sprays may not be used directly. The mist
generated by spraying may penetrate into the unit and damage
electronic components. To use a disinfectant agent in spray form, first
apply the agent to a clean cloth or pad, and then use the pad to apply the
agent to the surface requiring disinfectant.
For general cleaning, use a non-lint cloth dampened with water, or a
lukewarm, diluted aqueous solution of household dishwasher liquid.
9.2 CARE
Handle the plastic accessories carefully, and inspect them frequently. If
they begin to crack, discontinue their use and replace them.
