Disinfecting the Holster
A disinfection process must follow the cleaning procedure. The following chemical disinfectants are approved for use
with the Holster:
• 10% Bleach Solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts purified or deionized water)
Disinfectants should be prepared and used according to the manufacturer's recommendations for use, concentration
and contact time. The use of other disinfectants, other than those specified in these instructions, should be assessed
for equivalency before using. Technical data sheets are typically available through the manufacturer's web pages to
assist in this assessment. Any disinfection process, including tools and solutions, may influence the wear on a device or
equipment.
1. Soak a clean cloth and a soft bristle toothbrush in the disinfectant solution. Squeeze the cloth thoroughly to
remove all excess solution. Tap toothbrush to remove excess solution.
2. Thoroughly wipe down the Holster ensuring that a slightly wet surface is maintained for 5 minutes.
3. Thoroughly scrub crevice areas with the soft bristle, standard toothbrush ensuring that a slightly wet surface is
maintained for 5 minutes.
4. Sterile gauze or a clean, soft cloth moistened with purified water should be used to remove the disinfectant from
the device. Repeat 4 additional times to thoroughly remove residue.
5. A clean soft bristle, standard toothbrush moistened with purified water should be used to remove the disinfectant
from the crevices of the device. Repeat 6 additional times to thoroughly remove residue.
6. Dry the Holster with a clean, soft cloth and ensure the cloth is inserted into the crevices of the device.
