Clean and Disinfect SCRAM Equipment

SCRAM Systems understands how important it is for you to keep your monitoring devices in your available inventory. Keeping units on-site and functional saves precious time and money for your monitoring business. To help you keep your SCRAM devices operating at peak performance, our engineers have researched and developed a series of recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures that enable you to get the most out of your SCRAM devices investment.

To prevent damage to SCRAM equipment, only use the SCRAM-Approved Disinfectant and Cleaner. This is the only cleaner approved by SCRAM Systems.

Do Not Use the Following Types of Cleaners on Your SCRAM Equipment:

· Alcohol-based

· Citrus-scented

· Pine-based

· Aldehyde-based

· Chlorine-based

· Contains Benzalkonium Chloride

General Information

When handling previously used SCRAM equipment, wear gloves, eye protection, and a face mask before and during the disinfecting process.

Biohazard Disposal

If you feel that a piece of SCRAM Systems equipment may pose a specific health hazard, and you decide it is not worth the risk to clean or reuse the device, please dispose of the device in a sealed plastic bag and refer to the biohazardous or medical waste disposal guidelines in your area for specific disposal instructions.

Contact SCRAM Systems Customer Service with the serial number of the device being removed from your inventory.

To Disinfect SCRAM CAM, House Arrest (HA) Bracelets:

If the bracelet will be stored in your inventory at this time, DO NOT INSTALL A NEW BATTERY. Installing a battery will cause the bracelet’s pump to draw air across the internal fuel cell and potentially dry out the fuel cell while it sits in inventory, which will impair the bracelet’s ability to detect alcohol.

	Spray all surfaces with the SCRAM-Approved Disinfectant and Cleaner solution.
	Allow the device to remain wet for 10-15 minutes.
	Re-spray the device with the approved disinfectant and cleaner solution to break up any film left behind by the initial application.
	Lightly scrub the bracelet housing and straps with a nylon scrub brush to remove any built-up debris. Concentrate on the seams around the battery faceplate on the CAM and HA bracelets.
	Rinse off the bracelet with a damp washcloth. Warning Do not rinse SCRAM CAM or HA devices under running water.
	Wipe surfaces dry with a paper towel or cloth.
	Remove and dispose of the faceplate and battery. If the faceplate does not disengage easily, repeat steps 3 and 4. Use a T-10 screwdriver to remove the straps from the bracelet housing. Always start with the middle screw and then remove the outer screws.
	Spray the approved disinfectant and cleaner solution on a small nylon brush and clean the battery contacts and pogo pins. Dry the battery contacts and pogo pins with a microfiber cloth. Use a small bristle brush to clean the inside of the small crevices on the strap connectors and buckle. Use a precision-tip cotton swab to clean and dry any small metal components (screw grommets, buckle contacts, and pogo pins).
	Ensure all bracelet surfaces and components are dry prior to reassembly; this will help prevent moisture corrosion. Use a T-10 torque screwdriver set at 3.5 lb/in (4.0 kg/cm or 0.4 Nm) of force to reinstall the bracelet straps. Start with the middle screw and then install the outer screws – do not over-tighten.
