Cleaning in a health care environment
This section describes the cleaning procedures for the Motion C5 in a health care
environment.
Disinfecting procedures
You should periodically disinfect the C5 according to the institutional polices of surface and
equipment safety and cleanliness.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, “items that do not ordinarily touch the patient
or touch only intact skin are not involved in disease transmission, and generally do not
necessitate disinfection between uses on different patients”.
1
We recommend using an EPA-
approved low-level disinfectant when general cleaning is required. For a list of cleaning
solutions tested by Motion Computing, see “Cleaning solutions” on page 48.
If the C5 becomes soiled with blood or other body fluids, chemical germicides that are EPA-
approved for use as hospital disinfectants and that are tuberculocidal/virucidal when used
at recommended dilutions and contact times can be used. Visibly soiled areas should first
be cleaned and then chemically decontaminated. For disinfection, the cleaned areas should
be moistened with the appropriate germicide and allowed to air dry.
2
If the C5 is used with patients who are infected or colonized with vancomycin-resistant
enterococci or other drug-resistant microorganisms judged by the infection control
program (based on current state, regional, or national recommendations, to be of special or
clinical or epidemiologic significance or with highly virulent microorganisms such as Ebola
or Lassa), then the unit should be dedicated to one patient or patient cohort or subjected to
low-level disinfection between patient uses.

Training and documentation considerations
All users of portable computers in the health care environment should be provided with
training on proper cleaning procedures. Cleaning procedures should be added to the
institution's policies and procedures for infection control.
