Section 9: Maintenance
Instrument Case Cleaning
The instrument case and exposed surfaces of the actuator and dispenser should
be kept clean. Clean the case routinely by wiping off dust and dried blood with a
cloth dampened with water or 1 of the following chemicals: isopropyl alcohol,
®1
bleach, Liqui-Nox
or mild detergent. The ACT cleaning kit can be used to clean difficult-to-reach
areas in the dispenser. Cleaning kits can be obtained from Medtronic Customer
Service or an authorized representative.
Actuator Assembly Cleaning
The actuator assembly should be cleaned at least once a month and more
frequently if required. If blood should get into the actuator assembly (see Figure 7),
it is critical that the instrument is cleaned as soon as possible.
