6.2.2 Disinfectants
Guidelines
The user must follow the requirements of the national committee responsible for hygiene and disinfection when
cleaning surgical tables. Disinfectants can be used in spray or wipe applications. Enzymatic cleaners should be
applied with a disposable cloth and not sprayed (and thoroughly rinsed with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth to
remove residue).
The user must always follow manufacturer instructions for concentrations and use of cleaning products.
Some points of importance:
• Avoid discoloration of hand control keypad and display. Do not clean hand control with povidone-iodine solu-
tions or allow such solutions to contact keypad and display surfaces.
• Ensure no excess fluids remain on pads or table top surfaces during and after cleaning.
• DO NOT SPRAY any cleaning product directly onto hand control or any system components. For other sys-
tem components, dampen a clean, soft cloth with the cleaning solution and wring out the excess moisture.
• The use of H2O2 + PAA (Hydrogen Peroxide + Peracetic Acid) is strongly discouraged.
Disinfectants Approved for Use
The following disinfectants have been approved for use. Disinfectants not listed may cause discoloration or
deterioration of pad surface. If these recommended cleaning products are not available in your area, use a
