Notes on the Arm Systems
Selection of Fastening Material
We recommend the use of (not included in the delivery) counter-plates for
fastening to drywall.
Cleaning and Disinfection
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCKS ARE LIFE-THREATENING
- The devices can conduct electricity and must be handled with care during cleaning and disinfection.
- If there is a power plug remove it from the socket.
- Do not use spraying methods for cleaning and/or disinfection.
- Do not spray liquid into the openings of electrical power sockets, gas sockets, or devices, or allow liquid to enter these.
Recommended Cleaning Agents
Use mild soap solutions or standard detergents as cleaning agents. Wipe down
the surfaces of the equipment with a dampened cloth. If necessary, use small
quantities of mild soap solution as a cleaning agent. Then wipe the outer
surfaces with a soft, clean cloth until they are completely dry.
Disinfection Procedure
Disinfection by wiping is intended to be the standard disinfection procedure
for the support arm system. Hygiene guidelines and corresponding safety
measures must be determined by the operator for the disinfection procedures
that are applied.
- After the contamination by any potentially infectious material (such as blood, secretions, or excrement), the areas must be disinfected immediately in a targeted way.
- Comply with application concentrations.
- Wipe the area to be disinfected rather than spraying it.
- Do not use areas that have been wiped until the disinfectant is dry.
Testing
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCKS ARE LIFE-THREATENING
