Cleaning and Disinfecting Guidelines for Zebra Healthcare Mobile Computers and Tablets

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Zebra Technologies provides guidelines for disinfecting healthcare mobile computers and tablets to prevent pathogen spread. These devices are made with resilient medical-grade plastics, but proper disinfection is crucial to avoid damage.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Guidelines
Regular cleaning and disinfecting are essential for maintaining Zebra devices. Monthly deep cleaning is recommended. All parts, including cradles, cords, and chargers, should be disinfected. Combining chemical agents is hazardous and not approved.

Special Precautions for Bleach-Based Disinfectants
  • Use a 10:1 diluted 5.5% bleach solution.
  • Bleach is not approved for cradles and can corrode metals.
  • Avoid bleach contact with electrical contacts; remove with water or isopropyl alcohol if exposed.

Approved Cleanser Active Ingredients
Approved ingredients include isopropyl alcohol, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, ammonium chloride, and mild dish soap. Avoid harmful chemicals like acetone and toluene.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Dos and Don’ts
  • Do not spray or pour chemicals directly onto devices.
  • Disconnect devices from power before cleaning.
  • Use pre-moistened wipes or damp cloths with approved agents.
  • Ensure devices are dry before reapplying power.

Approved Cleaning and Disinfectant Agents
A list of approved agents is provided, with specific instructions for different device models. Non-approved agents may damage devices and void warranties.

Cleaning Specific Device Parts
  • Audio Grills: Use isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush.
  • Scanner Exit Window: Clean with lens tissue.
  • Charging Contacts: Use isopropyl alcohol and cotton applicators.
  • Cradles and Chargers: Clean with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free cloths.

UV-C Disinfecting
UV-C appliances can disinfect devices after cleaning. They are effective on exposed surfaces but may cause cosmetic discoloration. Chemical disinfecting is recommended for non-exposed areas.

Contact Information
Contact details for Zebra's headquarters in various regions are provided for further inquiries.
