19.3 Cleaning Method
Note: Cleaning is an essential prerequisite to disinfection and sterilization.
For cleaning use three clean, disposable, absorbent, non-shedding cloths. Wipe clean with
the first cloth using a hand hot water/mild general purpose detergent solution (as prescribed
by the appropriate hospital authority). Do not overload the cloth with liquid. Remove the
water/mild general purpose detergent solution with the second cloth using water only. Do not
overload the cloth with liquid. Wipe dry with the remaining cloth. Care should be taken to
ensure that the driver gas ports are not blocked by any debris.
Warning: Ensure that the detergent solution does not enter the unit (LCD and
LED windows). Do not use any abrasive cleaners these surfaces.
19.4 Disinfection method
Note: Alcohols such as 70% isopropanol have a good activity against
bacteria and viruses. They should only be used after all visible surface dirt
has been removed from the area to be disinfected.
For disinfection use two clean, disposable, absorbent, non-shedding cloths. Wipe clean with
the first cloth using Alcohol (70% isopropanol). Wipe dry with the remaining cloth.
Warning: Disinfectants containing compounds similar to PHENOL or
ALKYLAMINES (Glucorrotamine) are unsuitable.
