Manufacturer’s Recommended Cleaning Precautions

The CDC’s first recommendation to infection prevention is to adhere to Standard Precautions as the minimum practices that apply to all patient care whether or not an infection is confirmed and are used in conjunction with the facility’s specified Infection Control Policies and Procedures. These begin with the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe handling of potentially contaminated equipment or surfaces in the patient environment. As such, the first line of defense for every exam is the proper use of radiographic bags as a primary barrier between each use on a patient as well as a primary barrier between the patient and the Fujifilm digital x-ray equipment during use.

Always consult the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions, and follow the disinfectant manufacturer’s specified instructions. Due to the variety of materials and surfaces incorporated on each specific product, it is imperative that facilities refer to each product’s corresponding service manual for cleaning instructions and precautions.

 

General Cleaning Precautions

Finishes and Materials – High concentration chemical solutions may dull finishes or permanently degrade materials.
Sprays – We recommended dampening a soft cloth or using moistened wipes, instead of directly spraying surfaces.
Internal Components – Special care should be taken to not overly dampen areas that could allow seepage inside.
Bagging – as normal best practice, it is always critical to properly bag and even double or triple bag detectors prior to use.
