Cleaning the Ranger Irrigation Fluid Warming Unit
Clean the Ranger unit on an as-needed basis.
caution
• Do not immerse the warming unit in cleaning or sterilizing solutions. The unit is not liquid-proof.
• Do not clean the warming unit with solvents. Damage to the case, label, and internal components
may result.
to clean the exterior of the warming unit:
1. Disconnect the Ranger Irrigation Fluid warming unit from the power source.
2. Wipe the outside of the unit with warm, soapy water, nonabrasive cleaning solutions, dilute bleach,
or cold sterilants. Do not use abrasive materials.
3. Wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
to clean the heating plates:
The Ranger Irrigation hardware cleaning tool is intended to clean both heating plates of the warming unit.
It is not necessary to disassemble the warming unit to use the tool.
caution
• Do not insert metallic instruments in the warming unit, as damage to the heating plates may occur.
• Do not use abrasive material or solutions to clean the heater plates.
• Do not allow spills to dry inside the unit, as this may make it more difficult to clean the unit.
• The cleaning tool provides only superficial cleaning—it does not disinfect or sterilize the interior
of the unit.
method
1. Unplug the warming unit.
2. Unfold the cleaning tool. Wet the foam
pads with a nonabrasive solution, such as
Alconox* brand detergent.
3. Insert the tool from the back of the unit
and pull the tool all the way out from the front.
4. Rinse the tool with water and repeat 3 times. Discard the tool according to institutional protocol.
5. Wipe off the unit to remove excess fluid.
to clean resistant, dried-on fluids:
1. Spray a nonabrasive solution inside the slot of the warming unit and let sit for 15-20 minutes.
2. Clean the unit by using the cleaning tool.
NOTE: you may use a nonmetal instrument, such as a cotton swab, to clean the upper channels.
If you are unable to adequately clean the unit, call Arizant Healthcare Inc. Technical Service.
