Cleaning the external surfaces of the laser console and slit lamp
Clean the external surfaces of the laser console and slit lamp before every
patient. Use a cloth dampened with a noncaustic cleaning solution, such as
soap and water, isopropyl alcohol, or a “hospital-grade” disinfectant, to wipe
the external surfaces of the laser console and slit lamp. Dry with a clean cloth,
or allow to air dry.
CAUTION - Do not spray or pour cleaning agents directly on the laser
console. You may damage the console and laser system electronics.
Cleaning and disinfecting areas of patient contact
Selecta laser treatment involves only brief skin contact with the patient, but
attention should be given to the possibility of cross-contamination between
patients. The areas of skin contact include the slit lamp table, chin rest,
headrest and handles.
Responsibilities of the health facility
Follow your institution’s standard procedures and guidelines for cleaning and
disinfecting areas of patient contact, such as:
• determining the level of cleaning and disinfection required between
patients
• developing appropriate education and training for proper cleaning
and disinfection
• ensuring that routine cleaning and disinfection methods used in
the facility are compatible with the device
• scheduling and performing a routine cleaning and disinfection
regimen
Guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting patient contact areas
The following is provided as a general guideline:
• thorough cleaning of all patient contact areas is recommended
before every new patient
• disposable chin rest papers can also be used (chin rest papers are
supplied with the Selecta and can be ordered separately)
• the system may be cleaned by wiping all contact areas using a
suitable, hospital-grade liquid cleaning agent that is non-corrosive,
non-toxic and low in residue
