For heavily soiled surfaces, use a wipe to pre-clean the displaying unit prior
to disinfecting.
2.
Unfold a clean wipe and thoroughly wet the surface of the displaying unit.
3.
The treated surfaces must remain visibly wet for a full four (4) minutes (or the time
recommended by the manufacturer of the disinfectant, at least 4 minutes).
Use additional wipes if needed to assure continuous 4 minutes wet contact time.
4.
Let the displaying unit air dry.
Procedure 2 – Cleaning and disinfection with quaternary ammonium compounds
Wipes containing a mixture of quaternary ammonium compounds and isopropyl alcohol
approved for disinfection of medical devices, e.g., Super Sani-Cloth® from PDI, should be
used in accordance with the wipe manufacturer's instructions.
