CLEANING THE BRACKET SYSTEM
CLEANING PROCESS
The Bracket can be cleaned by using a pressure washer. The bracket may show some signs of oxidation or discoloration
from continuous washing, however, degradation of the cot/stretcher's performance or functionality will not be
affected due to power washing if cleaning instructions are properly followed.
The material used to manufacture the Bracket is high-grade aluminum, it is very durable and resistant to corrosion,
however high levels of sodium or a high concentration of sodium or acid may prematurely corrode the product.
Always rinse with soft soap and water if exposed.
9 Use of a power washer can accelerate removal of contaminants collected during the use of the product.
9 Rinse with clean water.
9 Towel dry all components.
9 Allow all other components to air dry.
9 Avoid over saturation and ensure that the product does not stay wet longer than the cleaner manufacturer's
guidelines for proper disinfecting.
WARNING
9 When cleaning, always use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) based on established protocols (e.g.,
gloves, eyewear, etc.).
CAUTION
9 Do not steam clean or use ultrasonic cleaners on the system or any of its components.
9 Do not immerse the metal parts/components in water.
9 Maximum water temperature should not exceed 180°F/82°C.
9 Maximum water pressure should not exceed 1500 psi/103.5 BAR . If a pressure washer is being used to clean the
unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) from the unit.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS
Phenolic type or quaternary type disinfectants can be used (excluding Virex® TB). Iodophor type disinfectants, Peracetic
Acid, Chlorine, and especially Hydrogen Peroxide are not recommended for use because staining and corrosion may
result.
Suggested cleaners for the Bracket:
9 Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient - ammonium chloride)
9 Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenyl phenol)
9 Chlorinated Bleach Solution (3.25% - less than 1-part bleach to 100 parts water)
