Appendix E. Cleaning Procedure
The Cleaning Kit
The Cleaning Kit
A full cleaning kit contains the following items:
Isopropyl alcohol
This is usually available from pharmaceutical suppliers or chemists.
If possible, use alcohol supplied for medical purposes, rather than
impure alcohol or alcohol with additives.
Do not use other solvents as some can damage plastic materials and
claddings. For example, Acetone dissolves the adhesives used in fiber optic
devices.
Never drink this alcohol as this can lead to blindness or other serious
damage to your health.
Cotton-swabs
Use swabs such as Q-tips or other cotton-swabs. These are typically
available from local distributors of medical or hygiene products
(such as supermarkets or pharmacies).
If you are cleaning connector interfaces or adapters, the diameter of the
cotton swab is important. Cotton swabs for babies normally have a smaller
diameter.
Do not use foam swabs, as these can leave filmy deposits on the surface you
are cleaning.
Store your cotton-swabs carefully and never reuse them. Dust and dirt from
the air or from previous cleaning, can scratch or dirty your optical device.
