Cleaning the System
WARNING Before cleaning the Cypress system, make sure the power is
OFF.
CAUTION
Disinfectants other than isopropyl alcohol or 2% glutaraldehyde-based
solutions may damage Cypress system transducers.
Periodically clean the external surfaces of the system with a damp (not wet)
cloth, or isopropyl alcohol solution. Do not spill or spray any water on the key-
board controls, into any connectors, or into any of the vents.
Clean the display screen with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner.
Do not spray the glass cleaner or any fluid directly onto the screen.
Carefully remove any solid matter around vents, controls, or connectors with
a cotton swab or toothpick to prevent the matter from entering the inside of
the system.
Refer to the “Safety, Technical Description, and Accuracy” section, for instruc-
tions on cleaning transducers and infection control.
