10-5-5-1 General cleaning
Frequent and diligent cleaning of the VIVID E9 ultrasound unit reduces the risk of spreading infection
from person to person, and also helps to maintain a clean working environment.
CAUTION
When performing cleaning procedures, to prevent the risk of system damage, always observe
the following precautions:
• Use only cleaning materials and solutions as recommended in the procedures described in Table 10-7 "VIVID E9
System - General Cleaning" on page 10-10.
• Do not use any solutions or products not listed in the VIVID E9 User Manual.
• Never use thinner, benzene, ethanol or methanol alcohol, abrasive cleaners, or other strong solvents, as these may
cause damage to the cabinet or LCD panel. Only use isopropyl alcohol, when instructed to do so.
• Do not spray any liquid directly onto the VIVID E9 covers, LCD Display or keyboard!
• Do not allow any liquid to drip or seep into the system.
• DO NOT scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as pencils or pens, as this may result in damage
to the panel.
• Make sure not to spill or spray any liquid on the controls, into the VIVID E9 cabinet, or in the probe connection
receptacle.
• Prior to cleaning, turn OFF power to the VIVID E9 and disconnect the mains cable.

• Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to dry the unit surfaces. Wait for the unit surfaces to dry completely.
• In the event that any stubborn stains remain, remove them with a soft, dust-free cloth on which a small quantity of
isopropyl rubbing alcohol has been absorbed, as described below for cleaning the Keyboard.
