Unacceptable Commercial Cleaning Products and Agents

Some commercially available cleaning products are not acceptable for cleaning the Vocera badge and accessories:

They are:

PDI Super Sani-Cloth AF3
Aromatic hydrocarbons
Low molecular weight aliphatic solvents
Chlorinated and brominated solvents
Ozone
Ammonia
Acetones
Ketones
Ethers
Toluene
Concentrated bases
Inorganic hypochlorites - including bleach
Hydrofluoric acid
Hydrochloric acid
Sulfuric acid

Using cleaning agents such as these may reduce the structural integrity of the material in the badge enclosure, leading to cracks in the badge and eventual failure of the badge enclosure.

As cleaning agents evolve, Vocera will continue to evaluate materials for safe use with the badge. If you have any doubt about a particular cleaning agent and that it could cause damage to a Vocera badge, contact your Vocera representative for guidance.

Note: There is no cleaning process for badges dropped in any liquids or body fluids. There is a no return policy for any badge considered to be a bio-hazard; disposal is the only option in this scenario.
