6.1 Cleaning

The cone should be cleaned after every patient usage.
Items and surfaces that are not given special instructions
for cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing, can be cleaned
with a soft cloth moistened with a suitable disinfectant after
each usage.
WARNING! Always disconnect the unit from the power
supply or switch off the power prior to cleaning or
disinfecting the unit. Do not allow any liquid to enter the
unit interior.
CAUTION! Do not allow water or other cleaning liquids to
enter the unit interior since these may cause damage.
Use a cloth moistened in cool-to-lukewarm, soapy water to
clean the unit, and prevent coagulation and thus facilitate
the removal of protein substances. Then wipe with a cloth
moistened in clear water. Mild detergent solution can be
used. Never use solvents of any kind. If you are uncertain
of the nature of cleaning agent, do not use it.
For example, the following cleaning agents are allowed
(and not allowed) to clean the unit panels:
Allowed:
Soap, Butylalcohol, Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) 96%, Methanol
(methyl alcohol).
Not allowed:
Benzene, all chlorine solutions, Phenol, Acetone, Acetic
ether

solution. Never use corrosive or solvent disinfectants. All
items and surfaces should be dried before next usage.
NOTICE! Wear gloves and other protective gear during
