CLEANING AND INFECTION
CONTROL OF THE DIGITEST 3
• Autoclaving and disinfecting do not remove accu-
mulated debris. Before autoclaving or disinfecting
accessories: Rinse the accessories under warm
running water for 30 seconds to remove any exter-
nal or internal soil or debris. Using a soft soapy
cleaning brush to assist in the cleaning, if neces-
sary. Use non-ammoniated detergent or dish-
washing soap. Do not use ammoniated cleansers
or disinfectants. Rinse the item again under warm
running water for 30 seconds to remove any resid-
ual soap and blot dry with a dry lint-free towel.
Wipe device with a lint-free towel that has been
saturated in an EPA-approved, hospital-grade
intermediate or high-level disinfectant (minimum
2.5% Glutaraldehyde solution), following the
instructions for use provided by the disinfectant
manufacturer. Dry with a dry lint-free towel.
• DO NOT AUTOCLAVE THE DIGITEST 3
POWER UNIT, AS THIS WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO IT.
• The Power Unit should be protected using proper-
ly-sized disposable plastic barrier sleeves.
• Since the Digitest 3 incorporates sophisticated
electronic circuitry, it should not be directly
sprayed with or soaked in disinfectant. The device
may be disinfected by wiping it with a damp cloth
or paper towel moistened with an EPA-approved
high-level surface disinfectant, then wiped with
a water-damp paper towel to remove chemical
residue, and then dried with another paper towel.
• Follow the surface disinfecting protocol specifi ed
