Keeping your medical equipment in good shape is so important, not only for health and safety reasons, but to also prolong the life of the equipment. Our range of equipment for the medical industry includes transport and storage solutions, furnishings and sterile goods baskets and accessories. To make sure you can properly maintain these, we’ve put together a quick maintenance guide to help you keep your equipment safe and in good working order.
Here at Hupfer, we use stainless steel for a variety of products due to its strength, durability and corrosion resistance. However, there are some instances where your stainless steel medical product may become discoloured or marked with residue or spillages, which is why it's crucially important to ensure it is cleaned regularly.
Here’s how you can keep your stainless steel equipment from Hupfer well maintained:
- Give your equipment a visual check over and remove any equipment from goods baskets or shelving. Look out for any leaks or spillages from bottles or containers and assess why there has been a spill. Fix this problem before you return this equipment.
- The surface of your stainless steel product can easily be wiped down to remove spills or dust. Wiping this down regularly will prevent a build up and will keep the area clean and sterile.
- Plan a regular cleaning schedule. This is particularly important in a medical environment to prevent the spread of bacteria or cross-contamination. Depending on your environment, this may need to be done daily to keep an area sterile.
- Stainless steel products may need to be disassembled and reassembled from time to time. Always ensure products are assembled and used correctly to avoid breakages or falls.
Suggested cleaning methods
We’ve made it easy for our customers to check how to clean their medical solution products - simply find your Hupfer product on our website and refer to the product description or cleaning classification.
Many of our products are suitable for dishwasher and steriliser use, but for quick cleaning, our products can be wiped down using water and soaps or detergent. More stubborn stains may need additional attention with a stronger solution. In medical environments, you’ll need to regularly disinfect medical equipment to ensure they’re safe for use and for the storage of sterile goods.
Assembly/disassembly
Our medical storage solutions are easy to assemble and come with step-by-step instructions for doing so safely. Safe and correct assembly of our shelving products will ensure they do their job effectively, whereas failure to follow instructions could cause a collapse. When storing medical equipment, carrying out a regular visual check of shelving and storage at the very least will help to prevent breakages or cross-contamination of products.
Ensure your medical equipment is well maintained for prolonged use
We take the maintenance of our medical products seriously and actively encourage all our customers to do so too. Safe assembly and correct cleaning methods will help your product last longer and create a much safer medical environment.
