Low-level/Intermediate level disinfection with wipes

1.  Use a clean set of gloves.
2.  Hold the Vscan Air CL with the large lens facing away from 

your body.

3.  Wipe the Vscan Air CL from the large lens to the small lens, 

slightly rotating the Vscan Air CL after each wiping pass.

4.  Turn the Vscan Air CL so that the small lens is facing away 

from your body.

5.  Use a new wipe and apply to the small lens. Now, wipe the 

Vscan Air CL from the small lens to the large lens, slightly 
rotating the Vscan Air CL after each wiping pass.

6.  Wrap a clean wipe around a soft nylon bristle brush to 

access crevasses on the surface of the Vscan Air CL. Do 
not use the brush on the Vscan Air CL lenses.

7.  Once the Vscan Air CL has been completely wiped, use 

additional wipes and continue wiping the Vscan Air CL as 
needed to ensure all surfaces remain wet for the required 
exposure time listed on the disinfectant manufacturer’s 
label.

8.  Dry all surfaces of the Vscan Air CL using a sterile, lint-free, 

soft wipe or cloth. Blot or pat the lenses dry.

9.  After each use, inspect the lenses, and housing of the 

Vscan Air CL. If the Vscan Air CL is damaged, do not place 
it into any liquid (e.g. for disinfection) and do not use it until it 
has been inspected and repaired/replaced by a GEHC 
Service Representative.
