Cleaning the ZOLL AED 3 Defibrillator

After each use, clean and disinfect the defibrillator with a soft, damp cloth using
either 90% isopropyl alcohol, or soap and water. You can also use a chlorine
bleach and water mixture (30 ml/liter water) to clean the defibrillator (except on
the contacts and connectors).
NOTE Wipe down the defibrillator with water after using any cleaning solution.
DO NOT:
• Immerse any part of the defibrillator in water.
Use chlorine mixture on contacts or connectors; this will degrade the
•
contacts over time.
• Use ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) to clean the defibrillator.
Use abrasives (e.g., paper towel) on the display window or graphic screen.
•
Sterilize the defibrillator.
