Maintenance
Devices in contact with intact patient skin can usually be effectively prepared for safe reuse by cleaning
and low level disinfection. It is always best to consult each manufacturer's documentation and product
instructions for precise cleaning and disinfection instructions. It is also important to follow your
institution's policies and guidelines for infection prevention and control.
The outer case of the Genesis Touch Tablet is made of polycarbonate. This is a durable plastic commonly
used in medical equipment. It is compatible with a variety of cleaners and disinfectants; however there are
some chemicals that should not be used. The following is a summary of expected chemical compatibilities.
It is based on Honeywell HomMed's testing and information verification.
Manufacturers of cleaning and disinfecting products may change their chemical formulations at any time.
