HP Healthcare Edition Solutions - Supporting your Infection Prevention Protocol
Computers, displays, MFPs, and accessories (e.g., keyboards and mice) are valuable clinical
and instructional tools for healthcare clinicians to view and transmit patient data, access and
print healthcare literature, provide patient and family education, and facilitate learning. As
these electronic devices are used at the point of care (e.g., emergency department, operating
room, intensive care, hemodialysis, and long-term care) or in common areas where patient
care is delivered, contamination of pathogenic bacteria and epidemic viruses from the hands
of healthcare providers or the environment has been demonstrated in numerous studies.

Ensuring the cleaning and disinfecting of these IT and IoT devices is a critical component of
environmental hygiene.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends cleaning surfaces, followed
by disinfection, as a best practice to reduce the transmission of pathogenic bacteria, viral
pathogens, and other viral respiratory illnesses in hospital, ambulatory, long-term care and
other healthcare settings.
5
Responsibility
The responsibility for routine cleaning and disinfection of the Healthcare Edition for Print
devices and accessories shall be dictated by the healthcare facility and clearly communicated
along with appropriate training as defined in this disinfection and sterilization guide.
Collaboration between epidemiologist(s), infection prevention and control, nursing,
environmental services (EVS), cleaning/janitorial staff and information technology (IT) is critical
for defining this responsibility and ensuring that training occurs.

Cleaning
1. Perform hand hygiene.
2. Don clean (non-sterile) disposable gloves made of latex (or nitrile gloves if you are latex-sensitive).
3. Turn off the device and disconnect AC power. Never clean a product while it is powered on or plugged in.
4. Disconnect or remove any external items such as USB memory sticks or media.
5. Remove soil from the device with a manufacturer-approved cleaning or cleaning and disinfecting germicidal wipe (commonly
used formulations listed in the attached Recommended Healthcare Edition for Print cleaning formulas table), or a waterdampened cloth. The cloth/wipe should be moist, but not dripping wet. Microfiber cloths, chamois (static-free cloth without
oil), or static-free cloth wipes are preferred.6 Do not use fibrous materials, such as paper towels or toilet paper.
6. Do not spray any liquids directly onto the product.
7. Do not use disinfecting/germicidal wipes on the scanner/copier glass.
8. Gently wipe the moistened cloth on the surfaces to be cleaned. Do not allow any moisture to drip into areas like keyboards,
display/control panels or USB ports, as moisture entering the inside of an electronic product can cause extensive damage.
9. Start with the display/control panel, continue with keyboard, and end with power and/or network cables if applicable.
10. Each Healthcare Edition MFP is equipped with sanitizable/sterilizable drapes. These can be cleaned and disinfected without
removal with a manufacturer-approved cleaning or cleaning and disinfecting germicidal wipe (commonly used formulations
listed in Table 1: HP Healthcare Edition compatibility-tested formulations for cleaning and disinfecting).
11. When cleaning a display screen or printer control panel, carefully wipe in one direction, moving from the top of the display to
the bottom.
Disinfection
1. Additional disinfection should be performed using germicidal wipes. Refer to the germicidal wipe manufacturer’s
recommended instructions for use (IFU) for the product(s) used at the facility to ensure appropriate application and contact
time of the product.
2. Disinfect all surfaces covered with drapes. Additionally, disinfect the surface of the control panel and keyboard of the device.
• Ensure that the germicidal wipe remains wet during the application process. Replace, if necessary.
• Make sure that the surfaces remain treated with the disinfectant for the contact time specified by the germicidal wipe
manufacturer.
3. Determine that surfaces have completely air-dried before turning the device on after cleaning. No moisture should be visible
on the surfaces of the product before it is powered on.
4. Gloves should be discarded after each cleaning. Perform hand hygiene immediately after gloves are removed.
NOTE: If contamination with Clostridioides Difficile is suspected, a sporicidal agent (e.g., hypochlorite or bleach) is required.
Do not use cleaners that contain any petroleum based materials such as benzene, thinner, or any volatile
substance to clean the device. These chemicals may damage the device.
If you are not sure whether a cleaning product is suitable, or if it is not specifically listed in this document, do
not use it as it may cause permanent damage to the product. The following table lists the cleaning formulas
approved for HP Healthcare Edition for Print devices.
