Cleaning and disinfecting the ultrasound system
The exterior surface of the ultrasound system and the accessories can be cleaned and disinfected using a recommended
cleaner or disinfectant.
To clean the LCD screen
Dampen a clean, non-abrasive, cotton cloth with an ethanolic-based cleaner, and wipe the screen clean. Apply the
cleaner to the cloth rather than the surface of the screen.
To clean and disinfect system surfaces
1 Turn off the system.
2 Disconnect the system from the power supply, or remove it from the mini-dock or docking system.
3 Clean the exterior surfaces using a soft cloth lightly dampened in a mild soap or detergent cleaning solution to
remove any particulate matter or body fluids.
Apply the solution to the cloth rather than the surface.
4 Mix the disinfectant solution compatible with the system, following disinfectant label instructions for solution
strengths and disinfectant contact duration.
5 Wipe surfaces with the disinfectant solution.
6 Air dry or towel dry with a clean cloth.
WAR NIN G:
To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning, disconnect the system from the power supply or
remove from the mini-dock or docking system.
WAR NIN G:
To avoid infection always use protective eyewear and gloves when performing cleaning and
disinfecting procedures.
WAR NIN G:
To avoid infection, ensure that the solution expiration date has not passed.
Caution:
Do not spray cleaners or disinfectant directly on the system surfaces. Doing so may cause
solution to leak into the system, damaging the system and voiding the warranty.
Caution:
Do not use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will
damage the exterior surfaces.
Caution:
Use only recommended cleaners or disinfectants on system surfaces. Immersion-type
disinfectants are not approved for use on system surfaces.
Caution:
When you clean the system, ensure that the solution does not get inside the system controls or
the battery compartment.
Caution:
Do not scratch the LCD screen.
