Please ensure the cloth is damp and not wet . Ensure the exterior of the device is dry after cleaning, dry using
a clean dry cloth .

which is widely available in tablet form and used throughout the healthcare industry, is recommended for
use to ensure a thorough clean .

Used in the following dilutions to ensure an effective clean:
• Actichlor dissolvable chlorine tablets provide a concentration of 1000 ppm of available chlorine (0 .1%)
per 1 tablet
• 1 tablet (1 .7g formed tablet (x1)) will create a virucidal solution, diluted in 1 litre of water to provide
effective means to clean a “Dirty” device . This is also ideal for use after an outbreak of the Norovirus /
winter vomiting and can be used as a precaution against C .Diff . It is effective against viruses, bacteria,
spores, yeasts and moulds .
• The contact time against the outer components of the device should be for 5 minutes to prevent
any virucidal infections without a degradation to the functionality of the device . 5 minutes is a
recommended contact time . The device can withstand a longer contact period but the 5 minute
recommendation as a minimum must be followed to provide an effective cleaning regime .
• Blood spills should be dealt with by an increased concentration of the solution – please refer to the
instructions on the manufacturers product labelling .
Concentration limits for differing cleans will be shown on the manufacturers Achtochlor tablet container,
