7.4 For General Cleaning
Use a lint-free cloth or pad and apply a diluted dishwashing liquid.
Caution:
Use the least possible amount of cleaning fluids. The fluids must not flow or run.
If more than soap and water is required, Hologic recommends any one of the following:
• 10% chlorine bleach solution and water with one part commercially available
chlorine bleach solution (normally 5.25% chlorine and 94.75% water) and nine parts
water. Mix this solution daily for best results.
• Commercially available isopropyl alcohol solution (70% isopropyl alcohol by
volume, not diluted)
• 3% maximum concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution
After you apply any of the above solutions, use a pad and apply a diluted dishwashing
liquid to clean any parts that touch the patient.
Warning:
If a paddle touches possible infectious materials, contact your Infection
Control Representative to remove contamination from the paddle.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the electronic components, do not use disinfectant sprays on
the system.
