Cleaning the Ranger blood/fluid warming unit

CAUTION
1. To reduce the risks associated with cross-contamination:
• The cleaning tool provides only superficial cleaning, it does not disinfect or sterilize the
interior of the unit.
NOTICE
1. To avoid device damage:
• Do not immerse the warming unit in cleaning or sterilizing solutions. The unit is not liquid
proof.
• Do not clean the warming unit with solvents. Damage to the case, label, and internal
components may result.
• Do not insert metallic instruments in the warming unit.
• Do not use abrasive materials or solutions to clean the heater plates.
• Do not allow spills to dry inside the unit, as this may make it more difficult to clean the unit.

2. Wipe the outside of the unit with warm, soapy water, nonabrasive cleaning solutions, dilute
bleach, or cold sterilants. Do not use abrasive materials.
