Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Device
If your device will only be used by one client, routine cleaning and
disinfecting should be sufficient. If, however, multiple clients will be
using the device, take additional measures to clean and disinfect the
device after it has been used by one client before allowing it to be used
by another client.
Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting
To clean your device case and screen, turn the device off, wipe with a
soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water, and dry with another
soft, lint-free cloth. Do not spray or splash liquid directly on the device.
To disinfect the case, moisten a clean cloth in a solution of 1/4 cup of
vinegar and 1 cup of water. Do not use vinegar and water on the display.
Disinfecting a Device for Use by Multiple Clients
Note: This section applies only when multiple clients will be using the
same device. In that situation, it’s vital to effectively disinfect the device
and accessories that have been used by a client before handling and use
by another client.
First Step: Put on protective gloves
Next Step: Clean the device and accessories
1. Wipe down the device and accessories with disinfectant wipes
(Virucidal, Bactericidal, Pseudomonacidal, Tuberculocidal,
Fungicidal)—Metrex CaviWipes

. Follow the disinfectant product
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
2. Take a Q-tip with cleaner applied (for example, Windex
®
or another
commercial cleaner) and clean inside all cracks and crevices. You
may want to use a toothbrush or similar brush.
3. Blow the device off with an air hose, or wipe it dry.
Important! Make sure all soil is removed from the device and
accessories. This is vital before proceeding to disinfecting the
equipment.
