Spaulding Classification
The level of cleaning and disinfecting required for your Clarius Scanner HD3 is based on the
Spaulding classification system. Following the correct classification will help reduce cross-
contamination and infection.
Each Spaulding classification mandates a specific level of cleaning and disinfecting of the
equipment before it can be used in the next exam. Determine the Spaulding classification
based on your scanner’s usage.
