CLEANING PROCESS
WARNING
ENSURE TO REMOVE MEDICAL DEVICE FROM THE BRACKET IF THOROUGH CLEANING IS NEEDED.
Follow your EMS service's protocol or medical device manufacturer's user guide for the recommended cleaning
procedure of your medical devices. Cleaning procedure below does NOT provide recommendations for cleaning of the
medical device. The following cleaning guidelines consider the Technimount mounting assemblies and components.
It is the responsibility of each hospital to use the cleaning solution of their choice. All hospitals have policies and
procedures describing how they should clean and disinfect their medical equipment. Use a chlorine bleach solution
(3.25% - less than one part bleach to 100 parts water), a solution containing alcohol, phenolic cleaners (active
ingredient - o-phenyl phenol) or a quaternary ammonium chloride solution. In diluted concentrations, these cleaning
agents have no negative effect on our products.
The bracket can be cleaned by using a pressure washer. The bracket may show some signs of oxidation or discoloration
from continuous washing, however, degradation of the product’s performance or functionality will not be affected
due to power washing if cleaning instructions are properly followed.
The material used to manufacture the bracket is high-grade aluminum, it is very durable and resistant to corrosion,
however high levels of sodium or a high concentration of sodium or acid may prematurely corrode the product.
Always rinse with soft soap and water if exposed.
