Recommended Cleaning Instruction
e exterior of the Easy Fit System can be cleaned using a damp soapy cloth for general cleaning duties.
Please ensure the cloth is damp and not wet. Ensure the exterior of the device is dry aer cleaning, dry using
a clean dry cloth.
Care should always be taken when cleaning around electrical components where these are
installed.
Disinfecting (if necessary)
Should the Easy Fit System require a more thorough clean, the use of the Actichlor disinfectant product,
which is widely available in tablet form and used throughout the healthcare industry, is recommended for
use to ensure a thorough clean.
• Please follow the manufacturers safety instruction for the use of the cleaning product before use to
ensure safe use for the operator and the patient.
• Ensure the cloth is damp before the cleaning process. DO NOT use a wet cloth over electrical
systems.
• Be careful not to let water ingress into the device as although the device is IP rated, it is not
water tight.
Application is through a clean soaked (but damp) cloth applied to wipe the device down
Used in the following dilutions to ensure an eective clean:
• Actichlor dissolvable chlorine tablets provide a concentration of 1000 ppm of available chlorine (0.1%)
per 1 tablet
• 1 tablet (1.7g formed tablet (x1)) will create a virucidal solution, diluted in 1 litre of water to provide
eective means to clean a “Dirty” device. is is also ideal for use aer an outbreak of the Norovirus /
winter vomiting and can be used as a precaution against C.Di. It is eective against viruses, bacteria,
spores, yeasts and moulds.
• e contact time against the outer components of the device should be for 5 minutes to prevent
any virucidal infections without a degradation to the functionality of the device. 5 minutes is a
recommended contact time. e device can withstand a longer contact period but the 5 minute
recommendation as a minimum must be followed to provide an eective cleaning regime.
• Blood spills should be dealt with by an increased concentration of the solution – please refer to the
instructions on the manufacturers product labelling.
Concentration limits for diering cleans will be shown on the manufacturers Achtochlor tablet container,
however, this is reected in the table below:
