Effect on Warranty
The large selection of brands and combinations of chemicals
available for deodorizing, disinfecting, and sanitizing is staggering.
Select one or more agents for use in your facility only after weighing
all the benefits claimed by each product. Too often this choice is
made without adequate consideration of the effects these agents
may produce on equipment or furnishings.
CAUTION: Before selecting a chemical to employ in
your facility, review label statements regarding use
with metals (stainless steel). Always consult the
chemical supplier if there are any doubts.
Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides, and thiocyanates on stainless steel surfaces as
these chemicals will cause pitting, corrosion, and metal
discoloration. Allowing salty solutions to evaporate and dry on
stainless steel may also contribute to corrosive conditions.
In summary, select chemical deodorizers, disinfectants, and/or
sanitizers only after weighing all possible benefits and known
adverse effects.
The warranty for this product is void if the care and
cleaning instructions provided in this manual are not
followed.
Clean the Intensive Care Unit exactly in accordance with the
cleaning instructions provided in Chapter 4 of this manual. Failure
to follow these instructions can void your warranty.
