Disinfecting System Surfaces
WARNING
Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning and disinfecting any equipment.
CAUTION
Use only compatible disinfectants on system surfaces.
CAUTION
If you use an isopropyl alcohol solution for disinfection, ensure the solution is only 70%
alcohol or less. Solutions of more than 70% alcohol can cause product damage.
Before performing this procedure, read “Disinfectants for System Surfaces” on page 289.
1. Turn off the system and disconnect the system power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Use a soft cloth lightly dampened in a mild soap or detergent solution to clean exterior
surfaces on the system.
3. Mix the disinfection solution compatible with your system according to label instructions
for solution strength.
CAUTION
Do not spray disinfectant directly on system surfaces. When wiping, do not allow disinfectant
to pool or run on system surfaces. In either case, disinfectant may leak into the system,
damaging the system and voiding the warranty. Wipe only with a cloth or applicator that is
lightly dampened.
4. Wipe system surfaces with the disinfectant, following disinfectant label instructions for
wipe durations, solution strengths, and disinfectant contact duration. Ensure the solution
strength and duration of contact are appropriate for the intended clinical application.
