7.0 Recommended Cleaning Instruction
General cleaning
The exterior of the TA180 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 after cleaning, dry using a clean dry cloth.
Care should always be taken when cleaning around electrical components
Disinfecting (if necessary)
Should the TA180 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 effective 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 effective means to clean a
“Dirty” device. This is also ideal for use after an outbreak of the
Norovirus / winter vomiting and can be used as a precaution
against C.Diff. It is effective against viruses, bacteria, spores,
yeasts and moulds.
•The 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. The device can withstand a longer
contact period but the 5 minute recommendation as a minimum
must be followed to provide an effective 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.
