Cleaning
Clean the s
ystem as needed with a damp cloth and a detergent soluon to remove all visible residues.
Scrubbing with a so bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, may be necessary to reach corners or to
remove material that has dried onto the surface.
NOTE When cleaning in the vicinity of the X-ray equipment of an OR system, you should leave the
non-sterile covers aached.
Disinfecng
Disinfecon may not be eecve if the surfaces are not thoroughly cleaned rst. Ensure that all
surfaces are cleaned and residues of cleaning agents are removed with water.
To ensure the eecveness of disinfecon, always follow the instrucons of the disinfecon product
used.
Aer disinfecng, ensure that no residue disinfecon agent remains on the equipment.
It is recommended that any disinfecon product is rst tested on small areas of the system that are not
visible to verify compability.
Disinfectant Agents
You can disinfect the system parts and accessories in the examinaon room using cleaning agents
consisng of the following disinfectant compounds (note the excepons that follow this list). These
compounds have been tested for compability with the system:
• Ethyl or isopropyl alcohol (95%)
• Quaternary ammonium (300 ppm)
• Glutaraldehyde (2%)
• Ortho-phthalaldehyde (0.55%)
• Hydrogen peroxide (5%)
• Chlorhexidine (0.5%) in ethanol or isopropyl alcohol (70%)
• Sodium hypochlorite (500 ppm)
Be aware of the following excepons:
• The cover of the maress is not resistant to chlorine-based detergents.
• The cover of the table lt movement is not resistant to alcohol-based disinfectants.
• The cover of the MCS frame is not resistant to alcohol based disinfectants.
The following acve compounds may not be used:
• Products containing phenol-based components, such as ortho-phenylphenol, ortho-benzyl-para-
chlorophenol, or chloroxylenol.
• Products containing uids such as ether, white spirit, turpenne, trichloroethylene, and
perchlorethylene.
The safety data sheets of a disinfectant product provide detailed informaon on its composion. These
data sheets can be obtained from the manufacturer of the product.
Using Disinfectant Sprays
Disinfecng a medical equipment room using disinfectant sprays is not recommended. Vapor can
penetrate the equipment causing corrosion or electrical damage. However, if you do use disinfectant
sprays in the vicinity of the X-ray equipment, follow this guidance:
• Do not use ammable or potenally explosive disinfectant sprays. The resulng vapor could ignite,
causing injury to sta or damage to equipment.
• If you intend to use non-ammable, non-explosive disinfectant sprays, rst switch o the
equipment and allow it to cool down. This prevents convecon currents drawing disinfectant vapor
into the equipment.
