"Disinfectant Ready" and "Anti Microbial" |
Opticons' Disinfectant-Ready devices have been tested to better resist selected disinfectant chemicals used to sterilize products. As wipes and other sanitation products are used frequently on these plastics, it is important that these products are made with a material that will better withstand these chemicals.
All Opticon scanners that are Anti Microbial are Disinfectant Ready as well (and vice-versa).
