CARE AND CLEANING

KCI recommends the following regarding cleaning and disinfecting therapy devices:
•
To help reduce risk of infection and contact with blood and body fluids, use personal protective
equipment (PPE) such as medical procedure gloves.
•
Do not immerse or saturate the control unit with fluids to avoid damage to the electronics in the
device

STANDARD PRECAUTIONS

The following are the KCI recommended cleaning and infection control procedures for the CelluTome™
Epidermal Harvesting System.
Standard Precautions are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of microorganisms from
both known and unknown sources of infection. These precautions can be applied to all patients,
regardless of their diagnosis or presumed infection status, and should be used when contact is
anticipated with blood and all body fluids. This also includes secretions and excretions (except
sweat) regardless of whether blood is visible or not, non-intact skin (i.e., open wounds) and mucous
membranes.
