Following are recommendations for cleaning the HeartStart XLT and its asso-
ciated case, cables, etc.
Cleaning the HeartStart XLT
The following cleaning products may be used to clean the exterior surfaces of
the HeartStart XLT, as well as the battery and data card:
Isopropyl alcohol (70% in water)
Mild soap and water
Chlorine bleach (3% in water)
Quaternary ammonium compounds, such as Lysol (10% in water)
When cleaning, be sure to avoid pouring fluids on the device and do not allow
fluids to penetrate the exterior surfaces of the device. Use of a soft cloth is
recommended for cleaning the display, to prevent scratching.
CAUTION The HeartStart XLT may not be autoclaved, ultrasonically cleaned, or
immersed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong solvents such as acetone or
acetone-based cleaners.
Cleaning the Carrying Case
Clean the carrying case by hand, using a mild soap and water. A brush may be
used on stubborn spots and a fabric cleaner may be used to remove grease
spots. Air dry the carrying case when cleaning is complete.
If it is necessary to remove the carrying case for cleaning, refer to directions
on page 11-15.
