When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products always follow the manufacturer’s recommended
instructions: use gloves during application and remove the residue afterwards with a damp alcohol cloth or a cotton
swab to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the device.
Due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite the metal surfaces on the device are prone to oxidation
(corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in the liquid form (including wipes). In the event that these type of
disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal with an alcohol-dampened cloth or cotton swab
after the cleaning step is critical.

The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the device and should not come in contact with
the device: acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons; acqueous or alcoholic alkaline

Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are
