8. CLEANING DISINFECTION AND CARE

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
CAUTION
The electrosurgical unit MUST be
disconnected from the mains power supply
prior to cleaning.
8.1 The cabinet should be cleaned with a
sponge or cloth dampened in a mild detergent or
soap solution and wiped dry.
(1) Do not use excessive amounts of fluid which
could enter the cabinet and damage internal
components.
(2) The cabinet front panel can be wiped, as it is
a continuous membrane. Pressure on the
touchbuttons, with the power supply off, will
not cause mode changes.
8.2 For disinfection, Eschmann Equipment
recommend primarily the use of alcohol based
disinfectants, e.g. 70% isopropanol/water or 70%
methyl alcohol/water.
CARE
8.2 Ensure that electrosurgical safety checks and
routine maintenance are carried out at regular
intervals and only by Eschmann trained personnel
otherwise the warranty for the equipment could
be infringed.
