Cleaning / Disinfecting / Sterilizing
CAUTION !
Certain components of the bassinet consist of ma-
terials that are sensitive to certain organic solvents
sometimes used for cleaning and disinfecting (e. g.,
alcohols, phenols, halogen releasing com-pounds,
oxygen releasing compounds, strong organic acids,
etc.). Exposure to such substances may cause
damage that is not always immediately recognized.
Sterilization of the bassinet itself with ethylene oxide
(EtO) is also not recommended.
To prevent any damage, we recommend that only de-
tergents and disinfectants are used that are compatible
with the materials used in the bassinet and its compo-
nents and accessories, e. g. surface disinfectants on
the basis of
– aldehydes, or
– quarternary ammonium compounds
for disinfection procedures
Ensure that all disinfectants are registered with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for use as intended.
Always follow the instruction labels specifically with
respect to prescribed concentrations and the necessary
exposure times.
