Cleaning The Light Pad And Cable Between Patients - GE BiliSoft 2.0 Operation Manual

CAUTION:
Use approved cleaning solution sparingly on a cloth when cleaning the exterior
of the light box. Do not saturate the cloth - excessive solution may flow into the
light box causing damage to internal components.
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Do not use cleaners on the inside of the Light Pad Connector Port. To clean the Connector Port,
refer to "Cleaning the Light Pad Connector, Fiberoptic Lens and Connector Port between Patients"
section.
3. Thoroughly pre-clean heavily soiled areas using an approved cleaning solution applied to a clean
cloth, or sponge, after wringing out the excess. Clean the outside of the light box with the
moistened cloth or sponge until visible debris and blood are removed. Do not spray cleaner
directly onto the unit. If necessary a soft bristle brush (e.g. a soft toothbrush) can be used to help
remove stubborn materials. Finish the pre-cleaning by drying the parts with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid scratches.
4. Once all visible contaminants and blood are removed from the device surfaces, apply one of the
recommended cleaning solutions per the manufacturer's instructions to perform disinfection.
5. Always dry the parts with a clean, damp, soft cloth to avoid scratches.

Cleaning the Light Pad and Cable between Patients

CAUTIONS:
The light pad connector requires special cleaning methods to avoid damage.
See Cleaning the Light Pad Connector, Fiberoptic Lens and Connector Port
between Patients.
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.
Never use an abrasive cleaner on the light pad or the cable.
