Cleaning and disinfection
General information about cleaning and disinfection
Individual manufacturer's instructions should be followed when using their disinfecting agent in order to
ensure an appropriate level of disinfection.
The cleaning instruction below is in accordance with ISO 17664.
Please note: Recommendations for cleaning and disinfection of the Sera
TM
presented in this document are
not intended to replace or contradict policies in effect or procedures required for infection control at the
facility.
Non-disposable parts of the system, including the preamplifier, electrode wires and insert phone tubes with
either EarCup or ear tip adapters attached, which are in direct contact with the patient, should be disinfected
between patients.
Caution during cleaning and disinfection
The Sera
TM
and any of its components or accessories cannot withstand washer-disinfector process or
autoclaving. The device will be damaged, and the warranty will become void.
Non-disposable parts of the system that come into contact with the patient should be cleaned and disinfected
after use to prevent cross-contamination.
Do not spray liquid cleaning or disinfection products directly onto any components of the device. Instead, use
a damp cloth/disinfectant wipe. Make sure that excess liquid from the cloth/wipe does not drip into any
sensitive areas such as connectors and seams where plastic pieces connect such as the battery
compartment or edges around the touch screen.
Ensure that the components/accessories are completely dry of residual cleaning solution/disinfectant before
using the device and before reassembling the components after the cleaning process.
Sera
TM
hardware device
To avoid contamination of the Sera
TM
device and reduce the need for cleaning/disinfection, do not set the
device on the patient’s bedding or hold it in contaminated hands during testing. Instead, set the device on a
trolley that is used for transport or on a clean surface near the patient. Use a stylus or pen for operation of
the device, thereby eliminating the need to touch it with your hands after contact with the patient.
