Clean Hands + Clean Devices – Protect Your Workforce by Disinfecting Shared Equipment

One of the most important things to recognize when establishing a cleaning protocol for your Zebra products is that that there are different guidelines for different types of products – there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Fortunately, Zebra has created a tool on their website that lets you find detailed guidelines on how to specifically disinfect each Zebra scanner, printer and mobile computer model. Using this Device Disinfectant tool, you can find step-by-step instructions on how to thoroughly disinfect the casing, buttons, screen (if applicable) and more. You’ll also be able to confirm which cleaning agents are safe to use, including the purity or formulation levels for each ingredient, as well as the cleaning agents that should never be used.

You may also be interested in a Zebra whitepaper “Best Practices for Infection Prevention” which was written by Darrel Hicks, a nationally recognized expert in infection control. While this paper was written for the healthcare industry, the recommendations provide a solid foundation for companies in all industries when taking additional precautions to protect the health of staff and customers.

Zebra recommends that you enact a device cleaning policy for your company as soon as possible using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) guidelines. This will help to ensure that employees are properly disinfecting mobile devices, scanners, printers and more on a routine basis. It will also help to re-assure your employees that you are doing everything you can to prevent shared technology tools from becoming a potential source of virus transmission.

Clean hands + clean devices = an even more effective infection control strategy
