Cleaning & Disinfection Procedures
Use an appropriate antibacterial disinfectant such as Dispatch
®
Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant with Bleach from Caltech Industries
(http://www.caltechind.com) to clean the Lone Worker Transmitter.
Since ‘Cleaning Procedures’ may vary according to facility guidelines, thus the procedures given below are for illustrative purposes only:
Option 1 – Using Dispatch Disinfectant Spray
1. Lightly wet a disposable towel with Dispatch spray.
Do not saturate the towel
2. Wipe the outer surfaces of the sensor
3. Wipe the sensor with a dry disposable towel
4. Allow the sensor to air dry
5. Return the clean sensor to inventory or usage
6. Dispose of used towels per facility policies
Option 2 – Using Dispatch Disinfectant Towels
1. Open a new Dispatch pre-moistened towel
2. Wipe the outer surfaces of the sensor
3. Wipe the sensor with a dry disposable towel
4. Allow the sensor to air dry
5. Return the clean sensor to inventory or usage

Pull Switch Cleaning: Frequent use of the pull switch may result in a buildup of dust on the mechanism. Dust buildup causes friction
w
hich requires added force to pull and restore the switch. Should this occur, clean the switch using a compressed air duster. Gently
spray on the pull switch, and use a brush (often included in the canister).
Alert Event Configuration in Eiris
There are nine alert events relevant to the Lone Worker tag.

Pre Alarm event and starts to vibrate. The pre Alarm and
vibration last for 15 seconds during which, the user can
cancel it.

the cord back into place, the tag transmits a cancellation
for the Pre Alarm event.
