Disinfecting and Cleaning
Use surface disinfectants. For surface compatibility, use disinfectants
based on:
— aldehydes,
— quaternary ammonium compounds.
To avoid the possibility of damage to material, do not use any
disinfectants based on:
— alkylamine-based compounds,
— phenol-based compounds,
— halogen-releasing compounds,
— strong organic acids,
— oxygen-releasing compounds.
For users in the Federal Republic of Germany, we recommend
that only disinfectants on the current DGHM list are used
(DGHM: German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology).
The DGHM list (published by mhp-Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany)
also classifies each disinfectant by its active agents.
For countries where the DGHM list is not available, we recommend
the types of disinfectant given above.
Disinfectants often contain – besides their main active agents
– additives that can also damage materials. See page 197 for
a list of the materials used.
● If in doubt, contact the supplier/manufacturer of the disinfectant/cleaning
agent.
● Note the manufacturer's directions for use.
