EQUIPMENT CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Patient contact surfaces should be washed with mild soap in lukewarm water. Removable
parts that do not contain electrical components such as the compression paddles may be
removed from the equipment and immersed if needed. Equipment parts such as the
Bucky/cassette holder that enclose electrical components must not be immersed but rather
cleaned with a soft dampened cloth, taking care not to allow liquids to enter the equipment.
Surfaces should be scrubbed as needed using a soft sponge, gauze or cloth to remove all visible
residue. Scrubbing with a soft bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) may be necessary to reach
corners or to remove material that has dried onto the surface. Subsequent disinfection may not
be effective if the surfaces are not thoroughly clean.
Rinse all surfaces with clean water to remove visible soap residue, taking care to avoid liquid
entry to internal equipment parts. Dry surfaces with a soft cloth to remove any visible residue.
LOW LEVEL OR INTERMEDIATE LEVEL DISINFECTION
Patient contact surfaces may be disinfected with a suitable liquid chemical germicide.
Surfaces must first be cleaned of all visible contamination (see above). The liquid germicide
must have a minimum contact time with the surface to be effective. Equipment parts should be
sprayed with a fine mist applicator or wiped with a wet cloth or sponge as directed by the
instructions for use provided with the germicide. If needed, removable parts not containing
electrical components (compression paddles and magnification plate) can be removed and
immersed. Further rinsing or wiping with clear water and drying with a soft cloth should be
done to remove any germicide residue that may remain. Take care to avoid liquid entry to
internal equipment parts.
HIGH LEVEL DISINFECTION
In the event you feel a high level disinfection is necessary due to equipment contact with
breached skin or being used with infected or immune compromised patients, the same patient
contact surfaces may be high level disinfected with a liquid chemical germicide rated for high
level disinfection. The same process used as that for intermediate level disinfection is
generally followed; however, the time of contact is usually much longer for high level
disinfection.
