PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 5 Feb 04

General Cleaning

At a minimum, thoroughly clean and disinfect the radiant warmer upon discharge of an infant. However,
depending upon individual facility policy, perform this procedure as often as daily, if desired. To most
effectively clean the unit, disassemble the unit and then group the parts in categories according to the
method of cleaning required (see "Disassembly for Cleaning" on page 6-5).
We recommend that you clean the unit with detergent and warm water. Do not use excessive liquid or
harsh cleansers. Appropriate cleaning agents that do not damage the product or its accessories include
cold sterilants and quarternary ammonium compound disinfectants.
After cleaning, perform a complete operational checkout procedure (see "Operational Checkout
Procedure" on page 4-15).

Cleaning Agents

When the equipment is not in use and it is disassembled, use an intermediate level, tuberculocidal
cleanser/disinfectant, such as CaviCide Surface Disinfectant/Decontaminant Cleaner, or equivalent
registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Disinfect only when the equipment is not in use
and disassembled (see "Disassembly for Cleaning" on page 6-5). When using any cleaning agent, follow
the manufacturer directions for use. Clean and disinfect the device using disinfectants and protocols
approved by your hospital. Dilute the disinfectant as specified on the manufacturer label. Before
cleaning, remove all solid wastes and contaminants from the disassembled parts.

Steam Cleaning

Do not use any steam cleaning device on the unit. Excessive moisture can damage mechanisms in this
unit.

Cleaning Difficult to Access Areas

To remove difficult spots or stains, we recommend that you use standard household cleansers and a soft
bristle brush. To loosen heavy, dried-on soil, first saturate the spot.

Cleaning Painted Surfaces

Use an EPA-registered disinfectant-detergent, such as cold sterilants and quarternary ammonium
compound disinfectants to clean all surfaces thoroughly. Make sure to clean all holes and indentations,
and then dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
