When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products always follow the manufacturer’s recommended
instructions: use gloves during application and remove the residue afterwards with a damp alcohol cloth or
a cotton swab to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the device.
Due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite the metal surfaces on the device are prone to
oxidation (corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in the liquid form (including wipes). In the event that
these type of disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal with an
alcohol-dampened cloth or cotton swab after the cleaning step is critical.
Harmful Ingredients
The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the device and should not come in contact
with the device: acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons; acqueous or alcoholic
alkaline solutions; ethanolamine; toluene; trichloroethylene; benzene; carbolic acid and TB-lysoform.
Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are
known to be harmful to the housing of the device.
Device Cleaning Instructions
Do not apply liquid directly to the device. Dampen a soft cloth or use pre-moistened wipes. Do not wrap the
device in the cloth or wipe, but gently wipe the unit. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the display
window or other places. Allow the unit to air dry before use.
NOTE: For thorough cleaning, it is recommended to first remove all accessory attachments, if applicable.
Special Cleaning Notes
The device should not be handled while wearing vinyl gloves containing phthalates, or before hands are
washed to remove contaminant residue after gloves are removed.
If products containing any of the harmful ingredients listed above are used prior to handling the device,
such as hand sanitizer that contain ethanolamine, hands must be completely dry before handling the
device to prevent damage to the device.
IMPORTANT: When using cleaning/disinfectant agents on the device, it is important to follow the directions
prescribed by the cleaning/disinfectant agent manufacturer.
