10.1 - Maintenance Schedule

The trolley requires regular maintenance. Set up and follow 
a maintenance schedule. The table at right/below represents 
minimum intervals for maintenance. Keep maintenance records. 
A sample maintenance record sheet is provided at the end of this 
manual.
When using maintenance products, follow the manufacturers’ 
directions and read the manufacturers’ material safety data sheets. 
You can purchase a recommended disinfectant from your Ferno 
distributor or Ferno UK Service Department.

IMPORTANT

Disinfectants and cleaners containing chlorine/bleach, 

phenol, or iodine can cause damage. It is recommended not 

to use products containing these chemicals. If these type of 

disinfectants are to be used, then to minimise the level of 

damage they will cause it is recommended that they are used 

with the least possible contact time, diluted as specified by 

the manufacturer’s guidelines, and that the equipment is 

then thoroughly washed down with water after disinfecting 

in order to remove any chemical residue and prevent any 

ongoing surface damage from occurring. Accessories such as 

push poles, IV poles etc. should be cleaned and disinfected 

whilst detached from the trolley and the fixing points on the 

trolley disinfected and thoroughly washed down after. 

Maintenance

10.2 - Cleaning the Trolley

Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and 
enables equipment to function at its optimum.

the Olson Power distribution socket is disconnected from mains 
supply

For particularly grimy cases, especially if the trolley has been in 
storage for a long period, it may be necessary to first clean the 
trolley with a water-soluble solvent-soaked cloth.
Once cleaned, dry the trolley with a soft towel, paying particular 
attention to swivel and sliding joints. If a compressed air hose is 
available, you may find that compressed air jets are more effective 
in drying the hard-to-reach places..
