Cleaning
Clean products regularly according to infection control guidelines and
protocols. Capsa Healthcare products are designed to be chemical and spill-
resistant and easy to clean. Components are manufactured from the highest
grade, non-porous, chemical resistant ABS (acrylonitrile, butadiene and
styrene) plastic, and from smooth, chemical resistant powder-coated steel and
aluminum. Although high-touch components (work surface, handles, wrist rest)
on certain products incorporate anti-microbial additives, it is not recommended
to rely solely on those additives for infection control and proper hygiene.
Most common disinfectant wipes and diluted cleaning solutions that are safe to
use in patient care environments are also acceptable to use for cleaning
products' exterior surfaces.

thoroughly dry
• Avoid excess dampness and never immerse the cart or its components in
