Cleaning and Desinfection of Radio Equipment
As a responce of increasing of Coronavirus COVID-19 enfection, Motorola Solutions has designed recommendation on cleaning and desinfection of radio communication equipment.
As per information of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center of Desease Control and Prevention of the USA (CDC) cleaning is the process of deleting germs and dirt our of the surface. One should keep in mind that cleaning doesn’t kill germs, but their physical removal decreases their quantity and thus reduces the risk of spreading infection. Desinfection referes to killing germs by using special agents.
Cleaning:
● Apply 0.5% detergent-water solution with a cloth, then use a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to work all loose dirt away from the device. Use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or tissue to remove the solution and dry the device.
● Make sure that no solution remains entrapped near any connectors, cracks or crevices.
Desinfection:
● Devices may be disinfected by wiping them down with over-the-counter isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) with at least a 70% alcohol concentration.
● When cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, the alcohol should never be applied directly to the device. It should be applied to a cloth, which is then used to wipe down the device.
● The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have detrimental effects on plastics and the metal platings.
