Cleaning

Follow your healthcare facility's standard procedures
for decontaminating surgical equipment to
decontaminate the console, footswitch and power
cord.
The following are the recommendations for console
decontamination: Wear protective gloves, gown
and eye wear. Wipe all surfaces of the console and
footswitch with a disposable towel or cloth soaked
in the disinfectant solution. Sporicidin® Disinfectant
(1.12% glutaraldehyde 1.93% phenol/phenate) or an
equivalent high-level disinfectant is recommended.
Dilute the disinfectant solution according to the
manufacturer's instructions. After disconnecting the
footswitch and power cord from the console, wipe
down all exposed surfaces of both components
in accordance with the guidance for the console.
Dispose of towels, gloves and gown in accordance
with your healthcare facility's standard guidelines for
biohazardous waste disposal or as prescribed by the
environment in which the console was used.
This procedure should be performed after each
console use.
