Use at least two (2) new Intermediate Level Disinfection Wipes to clean and remove all visible soil
and debris from the DIB including its Base, Cradle, Adjustment Wheel, Ruler, and Imaging Platform.

In a well-lit area, visually inspect (at a distance of approximately 12 inches) the DIB including its Base,
Cradle, Adjustment Wheel, Ruler, and Imaging Platform to ensure all surfaces are clean. If necessary,
repeat the cleaning steps above until the DIB is clean.
