Daily Cleaning and Disinfecting

Following are the cleaning and disinfecting instructions for environments that require daily or more frequent
cleaning to prevent the spread of germs, including healthcare workers who need to disinfect their scanner after
each patient visit and retail and other shift workers who share devices.
Dampen a soft cloth with one of the approved cleaning agents listed above or use pre-moistened wipes.
1.
Gently wipe all surfaces, including the front, back, sides, top and bottom. Never apply liquid directly to the
2.
scanner. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the scanner window, trigger, cable connector or any other area
on the device.
Be sure to clean the trigger and in between the trigger and the housing (use a cotton-tipped applicator to reach
3.
tight or inaccessible areas).
Immediately dry the scanner window after cleaning with a soft non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.
4.
Allow the unit to air dry before use.
5.
Avoid using cleansers directly on the digital scanner battery door, contacts and cradle contacts. Use a
cotton swab moistened with alcohol to gently clean contacts.
Some hand sanitizers commonly used in the healthcare environment may contain the
harmful ingredients listed above, such as ethanolamine. Hands must be completely dry
before handling the Motorola DS6878-HC digital scanner to prevent inadvertent
contamination with known harmful ingredients and damage to the plastics.
