To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning, always disconnect the system from the
power supply and remove it from the stand.
To avoid injury, always use protective eyewear and gloves when performing
cleaning and disinfecting procedures.
To avoid infection, ensure that the solution expiration date has not passed.
To avoid infection, the level of disinfection required for a product is dictated by the
type of tissue it contacts during use. Ensure that the solution strength and duration
of contact are appropriate for the equipment. For information, see the disinfectant
label instructions and the recommendations of the Association for Professionals in
Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and FDA.
Use only recommended cleaners or disinfectants on surfaces. Immersion-type
disinfectants are not tested for use on surfaces.
