Approved Cleaning and Disinfectant Agents

Use pre-moistened wipes, and do not allow the liquid cleaner to pool. 100% of the active ingredients in any cleaner must consist of one or some combination of the following:
  • Isopropyl alcohol
  • Bleach/sodium hypochlorite (see Important note below)
  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Ammonium chloride
  • Mild dish soap
When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products, always follow the manufacturer’s recommended instructions: Use gloves during application and remove the residue afterward with a damp alcohol cloth or a cotton swab to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the device. Because of the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite, the metal surfaces on the device are prone to oxidation (corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in liquid form (including wipes).
If these types of disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal with an alcohol-dampened cloth or cotton swab after the cleaning step is critical.
