Cleaning The Light Pad Connector, Fiberoptic Lens And Connector Port Between Patients - GE BiliSoft 2.0 Operation Manual

1. Thoroughly pre-clean heavily soiled areas using an approved cleaning solution (except for bleach
solution), applied to a clean cloth, or sponge, after wringing out the excess. Clean the outside of
the light pad and cable with the moistened cloth or sponge until visible debris and blood are
removed. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the light pad and cable. 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.
2. 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.
3. Remove any cleaning residue with a clean, soft cloth soaked with clean water only.
4. Always dry the parts with a clean, soft cloth to avoid scratches.
Cleaning the Light Pad Connector, Fiberoptic Lens and Connector Port
Between Patients
CAUTIONS:
Never immerse the Light Pad Connector in liquid.
Do not use iodine, strong acid, strong alkali, or bleach solutions to clean any
part of the Light Pad Connector, lens, or the Connector Port (in the Light Box).
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 connector, fiberoptic lens or the
connector port.
1. Direct cleaning of the Fiberoptic Lens and the Connector Port should be kept to a minimum.
IMPORTANT: Inside the connector port is a micro switch lever. Do not allow a cleaning cloth or
sponge to catch the lever and damage the switch.
2. Clean the fiberoptic cable connector or the connector port using a mild detergent solution. Never
use an abrasive cleaner. If disinfection is required, aqueous solutions, which are both hospital
disinfectants and microbactericides, may be used sparingly, minimizing their exposure to the
fiberoptic lens. Apply the cleaning solutions with a clean soft cloth. Do not saturate. Remove
any cleaning residue from the fiberoptic lens or the connector port with a clean damp soft cloth
soaked with clean, drinkable water only. Do not spray cleaner directly on the fiberoptic cable
connector.
3. Always dry the parts with a clean, soft cloth to avoid scratches.
