Alaris System cleaning instructions ®

Do • Before cleaning, turn the instrument off and unplug the power cord from the AC power source.

• Keep the instrument upright, and do not allow any part of it to become saturated with or submersed in fluid during cleaning.

• Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild nonabrasive cleaning solution to clean all exposed surfaces. For sanitizing or antibacterial treatment, use a 10% bleach solution and water. *

• Use a soft cloth dampened with water to rinse off the cleaning solution. • Allow devices to dry before attaching modules. – Dry time depends on the temperature, humidity and ventilation of the area.

Do Not • Do not spray fluids directly onto the instrument or into the rear case of the instrument.

• Do not apply cleaning solution in the metal pins of the IUI connectors. • Do not use hard or pointed objects to clean any part of the instrument. A soft-bristled brush may be used to clean hard-to-reach and narrow areas.

• Do not use compressed air to dry the instrument; this could force fluid into the instrument.

• Do not subject the device to sterilisation by steam autoclave or ethylene oxide (EtO2), or immerse in fluids or allow fluids to enter the instrument case.

• Do not allow solutions to collect on the instrument. Residue build-up might cause the moving parts to become sticky and hinder their operation over time.
