Due to the close proximity of electrical power and equipment, flammable cleaners should never be used to clean these
products!
The surface materials of the unit are primarily powder coated aluminum and are durable and easy to maintain, however they
can stain and discolor, so test any cleaners in an inconspicuous place before using.
Do not allow any liquids to enter the unit, drip down the monitor or accumulate on any surface.
Please refer to the respective Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for detailed descriptions for each product from its
manufacturer.
Never use steel wool, Scotch Brite™ or other abrasive materials to clean the product.
Use extreme caution when cleaning the camera, as it is delicate and easily broken.
Use extreme caution when cleaning a display monitor, as they are easily damaged if too much pressure is applied.
General Procedure
1. Verify the system is unplugged from the AC Power outlet before cleaning.
2. Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth or manufacturer supplied disposable cloth for all applications, particularly when cleaning
lenses and monitors. Do not spray liquids directly on the surface.
3. Utilize appropriate cleaners for the surface being cleaned.
4. Allow equipment to fully dry prior to plugging into a power source.
5. To facilitate an effective infection control program and ensure proper performance, routinely clean, disinfect, and maintain
products in accordance with approved procedures. Specifically, the hospital’s Infection Control Administrator should be
consulted for cleaning procedures and processes.
