Cleaning and disinfecting your QuickTalker Freestyle between uses is essential to the health and safety of the user. To help fight against the spread of germs, here are some helpful steps to cleaning and disinfecting your AbleNet device.

Always be sure to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment such as protective gloves and safety glasses.
Before disinfecting your device, remove any dirt or debris that may be on the device.

  1. Turn the device off.
  2. Remove any large chunks, visible heavy dirt or debris that is attached to the device.

  4. Use a cotton swab soaked with cleaner to get into any tight areas that were not accessible with the cleaning wipes.

Disinfect Your Device


Now that the device is clean, it is time to disinfect it. Changing protective gloves may be required before disinfecting the device to ensure no dirt or debris is transferred back to the device.

  1. Make sure the device is still turned off.
  2. Use a clean towel or wipes with Virucidal, Bactericidal, Pseudomonacidal, Tuberculocidal, or Fungicidal to disinfect the surfaces of the device. It is important to note that these chemicals only disinfect when they are wet and should be left wet on the device for at least 4-minutes.
  3. Use a cotton swab soaked with Virucidal, Bactericidal, Pseudomonacidal, Tuberculocidal, or Fungicidal to disinfect the tight areas that were not accessible with the towel or wipes. Make sure the chemical stays wet on the device for at least 4-minutes.
  4. Let the device air-dry entirely before using it.
  5. If your device has a touch screen, use a liquid glass cleaner to remove any smudges or smears before using.
