Cleaning Instructions
AccuVein recommends that devices be cleaned when required and as necessary to follow institutional cleaning protocols.
Please note that when cleaning any AccuVein device or accessory, the wipe used (see approved wipes below) should be firmly squeezed to remove excess cleaning fluid. This helps to prevent the pooling of liquid in crevices and depressions, which can damage the plastic.
Caution: Do not submerge any part of AccuVein Products in liquid.
