Safety & Sanitation Tips
How to revamp your InBody experience to respond to COVID-19 health and safety concerns.
Whether you are back in business or reopening is on the horizon, keeping your clients and staff safe and healthy is now your top priority. You may have many questions about disinfecting solutions and updating your testing experience to meet increased safety expectations. We are here with best practices and guidance to help you optimize your InBody experience to address COVID-19 health and safety concerns.
Sanitation Guidance
We recommend that you disinfect your InBody device after every test. It is important to note that there is a difference between cleaning and disinfecting your equipment.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
- Cleaning removes dirt, germs, and impurities from surfaces or objects. When you clean, you physically remove germs from surfaces using soap (or detergent) and water. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it reduces their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.
- Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces or objects using chemicals. This process does not clean dirty surfaces but kills germs on a surface after cleaning. Disinfecting can further reduce the risk of spreading infection.
To avoid damaging your device, do not clean it with soap and water; instead, you must disinfect it.
To keep your InBody free of dirt and impurities, ask your clients to clean their hands and feet before they test.
Disinfecting Your Body
To help provide a hygienic testing experience for your clients and employees, we recommend that you follow this procedure after every test.
To adequately disinfect your device, we recommend that you
Wear disposable gloves and use 70% (or above) Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes to disinfect the InBody while paying special attention to the hand electrodes, footplate, screen, and any other parts of the device that are frequently touched
To prevent damage to the device
- Do not spray or pour liquids directly on your InBody device
- Do not immerse any part of the InBody device in liquid
- Do not use cleaning agents composed of quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzalkonium/benzalkonium chloride, which may cause discoloration and corrosion
