IMMERSION. Never immerse CARESCAPE ONE components in
cleaning fluids or disinfecting agents.
STRESS CRACKING. Some rigid plastics used in this product
are susceptible to stress cracking as a result of prolonged
exposure to some disinfecting agents, Quaternary Ammonium
based agents in particular. Cracks may be precipitated and
crack growth accelerated from subsequent rough handling
or unintended use. Continued use of this type of disinfecting
agents and/or disinfecting methods may degrade materials
and lead to eventual fracture.
SOFT MATERIALS. The plastics used in this product are porous
and may absorb alcohol. Improper use of alcohol based
agents could result in softening, swelling, tackiness, or change
in appearance of the soft materials.
COLOR SHIFT. Some plastics may experience a slight change
in color over time due to effects of disinfecting agents. This
effect is cosmetic and not associated with product safety or
normal function.
SPOTTING, STAINING, CORROSION. Metal components
including fasteners may corrode or become stained or
spotted in appearance from continuous exposure to chlorine
compounds like bleach. These effects are not associated with
product safety or normal function.
