WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning, disconnect the system from the power
supply or remove it from the stand.
To avoid infection always use protective eyewear and gloves when performing
cleaning and disinfecting procedures.
To avoid infection, ensure that the solution expiration date has not passed.
To avoid infection, the level of disinfection required for a product is dictated by the
type of tissue it contacts during use. Ensure that the solution strength and duration
of contact are appropriate for the equipment. For information, see the disinfectant
label instructions and the recommendations of the Association for Professionals in
Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and FDA.
Caution:
Do not spray cleaners or disinfectant directly on the system surfaces. Doing so may
cause solution to leak into the system, damaging the system and voiding the
warranty.
Do not use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since
these will damage the exterior surfaces.
Use only recommended cleaners or disinfectants on system surfaces.
Immersion-type disinfectants are not approved for use on system surfaces.
When you clean the system, ensure that the solution does not get inside the system
controls or the battery compartment.
Do not scratch the LCD screen.
