Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance 65
Cleaning in a health care environment
This section describes the cleaning procedures for a Tablet PC in a health care environment.
Disinfecting procedures
You should periodically disinfect the tablet according to the institutional polices of surface
and equipment safety and cleanliness.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, “items that do not ordinarily touch the patient
or touch only intact skin are not involved in disease transmission, and generally do not
necessitate disinfection between uses on different patients”.
1
We recommend using an EPA-
approved low-level disinfectant when general cleaning is required. For a list of cleaning
solutions tested by Motion Computing, see “Cleaning solutions” on page 65.
If the tablet becomes soiled with blood or other body fluids, chemical germicides that are
EPA-approved for use as hospital disinfectants and that are tuberculocidal/virucidal when
used at recommended dilutions and contact times can be used. Visibly soiled areas should
first be cleaned and then chemically decontaminated. For disinfection, the cleaned areas
should be moistened with the appropriate germicide and allowed to air dry.
2
If a tablet is used with patients who are infected or colonized with vancomycin-resistant
enterococci or other drug-resistant microorganisms judged by the infection control
program (based on current state, regional, or national recommendations, to be of special or
clinical or epidemiologic significance or with highly virulent microorganisms such as Ebola
or Lassa), then the tablet should be dedicated to one patient or patient cohort or subjected
to low-level disinfection between patient uses.

Training and documentation considerations
All users of Motion Tablet PCs in the health care environment should be provided with
training on proper cleaning procedures. Cleaning procedures should be added to the
institution's policies and procedures for infection control.
Cleaning solutions
