Using cleaning agents such as these may reduce the structural integrity of the material in the
badge enclosure, leading to cracks in the badge and eventual failure of the badge enclosure.
As cleaning agents evolve, Vocera will continue to evaluate materials for safe use with the badge.
If you have any doubt about whether a particular cleaning agent could cause damage to a Vocera
badge, contact your Vocera representative for guidance.
Note: There is no cleaning process for badges dropped in any liquids or body fluids. There is a
"no return" policy for any badge considered to be a bio-hazard; disposal is the only option in this
scenario.
