GUIDE
In order to support your infection control
protocols and help reduce the risk of crosscontamination, CT40 Healthcare mobile
computers should be cleaned regularly using an
approved EPA-registered hospital disinfectant
following the labeling directions for use and
safety precautions.
INTRODUCTION
The CT40 HC Healthcare mobile
computer is purpose-built for the unique
demands of the healthcare environment,
made from disinfectant-ready materials
that are designed to withstand frequent
cleaning using approved disinfecting and
sanitizing agents.
SAFE CLEANING PROCEDURE
Always follow your organization’s
infection-control protocols and the
instructions for use provided by the
disinfectant manufacturer.
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Ensure that the battery is properly
installed in the computer to prevent
liquid from entering the device.
3. Use a pre-moistened disinfectant
wipe, or if using a liquid solution,
apply the approved cleaning solution
to a sterile cloth.

4. Wipe all surfaces of the Honeywell
computer with the moistened
cloth following the manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
• Avoid pooling the cleaning
solution on any part of the product
to prevent the liquid from gaining
access to the inside of the device.
• The touchscreen, scanner and
camera windows, buttons, and
connector area require the most
attention to prevent liquid from
entering the device.
• Keep a dry sterile cloth ready to
dry the device after cleaning.
5. Use a cotton-tipped swab to clean
between the buttons and in other
recessed areas of the computer.
6. The cradle contacts should be
cleaned monthly with a cotton-tipped
swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to
provide the ideal charger-to-battery
contact.
7. Let the computer completely air dry
before turning on the power and/or
placing it in a charger.

from the previous cleaning process.

with the approved glass cleaner.
