Point Of Use Cleaning; Cleaning The Light Box Between Patients - GE BiliSoft 2.0 Operation Manual

Point of Use Cleaning

CAUTIONS:
The light pad connector requires special cleaning methods to avoid damage.
See Cleaning the Light Pad Connector and Lens.
Never immerse the fiberoptic light pad, cable or connector in liquid.
Do not use iodine, strong acid, strong alkali, or bleach solutions to clean any
part of the Light Pad, the Connector or lens, or the Connector Port (in the Light
Box).
Strong cleaning solutions, alcohol, or ultraviolet light can cause premature
breakdown of the Light Pad plastic coverings. Use only approved cleaning
solutions. Do not leave the light pad in direct sunlight.
Iodine and other cleaning solutions that discolor the light pad will reduce the
pad's light output.
While the BiliSoft 2.0 is in use, the pad, in particular, may be exposed to bodily fluids and matter. The
cloth pad covers will help contain such materials, but if during the course of changing the pad cover
it is noticed that these materials leeched onto the pad, the user should wipe the surface to remove
the debris before applying a new cover.
The pad can be wiped down using a cloth moistened with the cleaning solutions listed above (except
for bleach solution), or with a mild hand soap, or with a standard baby wipe. Never submerge any
portion of the pad during the course of cleaning or rinsing.
If the recommended solutions are used, follow the manufacturer's instructions for rinsing and/or
wiping dry the surface using a separate cloth if required. If a hand soap is used, rinse the surface by
using a separate cloth/sponge moistened with clean, drinkable water.
