14.0 CLEANING, DISINFECTION, STERILIZATION
14.1 PREPARATION
Always switch off the system and disconnect it from the power supply before cleaning or
disinfecting it.
14.2 CLEANING
14.2.1. RECOMMENDED DETERGENTS
For cleaning the system, use only water with mild detergents applied with a damp cloth. Never
use abrasive cleansing agents, organic solvents or detergents which contain solvents (e.g. alcohol,
petroleum ether, liquid stain remover).
WARNING
Take care that no liquids penetrate into the unit through sockets, plugs, ventilation holes
or gaps (at integrated external devices such as video printers or video cassette recorders).
Never apply spray cleaners directly onto the unit!
14.2.2. CLEANING THE MONITOR SCREENS
For cleaning the monitor screens, use only pure alcohol or a mixture consisting of 1/3 alcohol and
2/3 distilled water. Wipe the screen and surrounding painted surfaces dry with a soft cotton cloth
immediately after cleaning
14.3 DISINFECTION STERILIZATION
14.3.1. RECOMMENDED DISINFECTANTS
The following disinfectants are recommended for surface disinfection:
• Incidin (3% in water)
• Ultrasol F (5:1 in water)
14.3.2. NO ALCOHOL OR SAGROTAN
Never use pure alcohol or Sagrotan, since these substances may corrode the surfaces. If you use
any other than the recommended disinfectants, we cannot guarantee the resistance of the surface
paint against these substances.
14.3.3. NO DISINFECTING SPRAYS
Never use disinfecting sprays, since the liquid droplets may penetrate inside the unit, endangering
safe system operation. Electronic modules may be damaged, and explosive air/solvent vapor
mixtures may develop.
