and disinfection procedure.
The following procedures should be followed when
cleaning the surgical table between cases.
Place table top in level position prior to starting
cleaning procedure.
WARNING
Always follow OSHA blood-borne patho-
gens standards for protective clothing,
including gloves, masks and eye pro-
tection when cleaning the surgical table.
Remove major contaminants from the table with
disposable materials following appropriate biohaz-
ard waste disposal procedures.
Remove all table pads and place them on a flat
surface for cleaning.
CAUTION
Thoroughly read and follow the
manufacturer's directions for all clean-
ing fluids. DO NOT use cleaners con-
taining phenolics.
Apply cleaning fluid liberally to top and sides of
each pad and wipe with a clean lint-free cloth.
Using a clean, damp, lint-free cloth, wipe the pads
to remove the cleaning fluid.
Using a clean, dry, lint-free cloth, wipe the pads to
remove all moisture.
Repeat the steps to clean the bottom of the each
pad.

Before replacing pads on the table, make
sure the pads and all mating surfaces
are completely dry. Moisture trapped
between the pads and mating surfaces
may cause distortion of table tops.
