7.1 General Information About Cleaning
Before each examination, clean and use a disinfectant on any part of the system which
touches a patient. Give special attention to the paddles and the image receptor.
Caution:
Do not use any hot source (like a heating pad) on the
image receptor.
Be careful with the compression paddles. Inspect the paddles. Replace the paddle when
you see damage.
7.1.1 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 and water with one part commercially available chlorine bleach
(normally 5.25% chlorine and 94.75% water) and nine parts water
• 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 which 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.
