17.1.2 Disinfecting the Main Unit
Before disinfecting the main unit, be sure to turn off the
power and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
Disinfecting the main unit while the power is “On” may
result in electric shock.
Use only Mindray approved disinfectants and methods
listed in this section to disinfect the main unit. Warranty
does not cover damage caused by unapproved substances
or methods.
Do not mix disinfectants, as hazardous gases may result.
We make no claims regarding the efficacy of the listed
chemicals or methods as a means for controlling infection.
For the method to control infection, consult your hospital’s
infection control officer or epidemiologist.
Never immerse any part of the main unit in liquids or allow liquid
to enter the interior.
Any contact of disinfectants with connectors or metal parts may
cause corrosion.
Do not pour or spray any liquid directly on the main unit or
permit fluid to seep into connections or openings.
If you spill liquid on the main unit, disconnect the power supply,
dry the main unit, and contact your service personnel.
Never use abrasive materials (such as steel wool or silver
polish), or erosive cleaners (such as acetone or acetone-based
cleaners).
Dilute and use the disinfectants according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Check the system after disinfection. If there is any sign of
damage, remove it from use.
Follow local regulations when selecting and using the
disinfectant.
Disinfectants listed in this section are used for disinfecting the
housing of the main unit and the monitor only, not for
disinfecting the probes or the trolley.
During cleaning, wear medical gloves to prevent infection.
