Germicidal Disposable Wipe – Low level and/or intermediate level disposable germicidal disinfectantwipe for use on electrotherapeutic devices and accessories. Plastic Lead Wire Sleeve – Barrier to be used on electrical stimulation lead wires, covering the junction of leadwire and electrode wire.Universal Precautions – Body Substance IsolationUniversal Precautions (UP) must be implemented in the care of all patients to protect employees from occupationalexposure to blood borne pathogens. Personal protective equipment (gloves, masks, gowns) should be available andworn by staff when occupational exposure to blood, body fluids containing blood, semen and vaginal secretions islikely to occur.

Equipment must becleaned/disinfected and protective barriers used when appropriate.Cleaning / Disinfecting of the Omnistim® FX² ProModality equipment shall be cleaned/disinfected per facility infection control policy. ACP recommends thefollowing guidelines:Cleaning and Low Level DisinfectionThis is a recommended daily housekeeping practice to keep the equipment clean and free of contaminants whichcould contribute to transmission of infection. The following practices are recommended for use when treating intactskin without the presence of physiologic fluids such as blood and urine. Clean equipment daily with ACP germicidal wipes. At the end of the day, wipe common contact surfaces,such as control panel and lead wires, with germicidal disposable wipe and allow to air dry. This techniquewill inactivate M. tuberculosis as well as most bacteria and viruses. This will also facilitate removal oforganic material contaminants from equipment. Disposable/reusable electrodes are for individual patient use only and should not be used on multiplepatients.Intermediate Level Disinfection and BarriersThis method is recommended to keep the equipment clean and free of contaminants when used between patients fortreatment of non-intact skin or incontinence management, where there is an increased risk of patient cross-contamination. The following are the recommended practices. After each use, clean common contact surfaces, such as control panel and lead wires with ACP germicidalwipes. With a second ACP germicidal cloth, wipe again leaving surfaces wet for at least 5 minutes. Allow thesurface to air dry before patient use. Barriers should also be used on the equipment for treatment of non-intact skin or incontinencemanagement. This technique will inactivate M. tuberculosis as well as most bacteria and viruses.
