6.5 Cleaning and Disinfection

6.5.1 General safety information

CAUTION!
Risk of contamination
– Take precautions for yourself and use
appropriate protective equipment.
CAUTION!
Risk of electric shock and product damage
– Switch off the device and disconnect from
mains, if applicable.
– When cleaning electronic components consider
their protection class regarding water ingress.
– Make sure that no water splashes to the plug
or the wall outlet.
– Do not touch the power socket with wet hands.
NOTICE!
Wrong fluids or methods can harm or damage
the product.
– All cleaning agents and disinfectants used must
be effective, compatible with one another and
must protect the materials they are used to
clean.
– Never use corrosive fluids (alkalines, acid etc.)
or abrasive cleaning agents. We recommend
an ordinary household cleaning agent such as
dishwashing liquid, if not specified otherwise in
the cleaning instructions.
– Never use a solvent (cellulose thinner, acetone
etc.) that changes the structure of the plastic
or dissolves the attached labels.
– Always make sure that the product is completely
dried before taking into use again.
For cleaning and disinfection in clinical or long-term
care environments, follow your in-house procedures.

6.5.2 Cleaning Intervals
