Can these be cleaned or disinfected? I cannot cross-contaminate between patients for use as a physical therapist.

I wouldn't use these where cross-contamination is a concern. The weights are covered in fabric covered neoprene and can only be spot cleaned. Additionally, the weights will only fit an ankle or wrist that is approximately 3 inches in diameter.

YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER WITH THIS QUESTION. I bought them only for myself and my husband. I wouldn't use them on patients, unless they can be cleaned and steralized. There must be something like you need if you search with the right words to search for. Also look at places like Walgreens, Hospital Supplies, or for Physical Therapy items.

I have never used any cleaners in my unit, but I don't see why you could not since there is an optional disinfecting product available. See the comment about diluting the cleaner, though. I think it would need to be very diluted in order to not clog the steam holes.

Good heavens no! They are organic sprouting seeds. Why would one want to contaminate them with a disinfecting solution?

Yes you can but it is recommended to keep some of the moisture content down. The unit comes with a few and they can stay on the unit. They are meant to be changed more so if the unit is to be shared between people to reduce passing of germs.

They are for use in food. I don't think they have been treated. They also haven't been washed

They're supposed to be treated with an antimicrobial that keeps them fresh. I would'nt try washing them, myself.

I wash these with my cloth wipes in a mesh bag if they were only peed on (I flush the poop). I let them air dry and I get like 3 uses out of them. Food for thought though: If I can wash these in my washing machine several times and reuse them what are people talking about when they say to let it sit in their toilet bowl for a little bit to let them "break down"? I have a septic system and I was flushing these (for the last year and a half) without thinking about how that might not be a good idea- we're in need of septic work now and I don't know if it is related at all.

Yes, they are sterile for iv use. I am not sure they would come any other way.

For sterilizing for first use i washed them then soaked in alcohol then boiled in water. That was an all day process being that i left them soaking in alcohol. I'm sure u can clean them as u wish. I believr this to b a nonporous metal and I don't believe u will have issues with the metal coming off. U can also try silicon ones if u like. I prefer metal butbut its just a personal preference. I hope I was of some help.... Oh the soaking and boiling did not tarnish the metal. i dont know if that helps with ur question. Happy kegels!

It depends. If the package says "Use only once" then you dispose them after one use, if it says "Reusable," then you can wash and reuse them. HIH.

Yes. The instruction leaflet says "suitable for all forms of sterilization" and "wash in warm soapy water and rinse in clean water or use a dishwasher. "

I just flush them with purified water and let them air dry but if you want to you can get cleaning tablets. Ive never had a problem with them though.

That shouldn't be a problem. They are acrylic so they could easily be cleaned by hosing them off.

Haven't needed to yet but I would just wash them in the sink and lay them out on a sheet to dry. If you are wanting to sanitize them you could wash in the sink then rinse in a bleach-water solution before drying.

We never tried cleaning them. I thought they were considered disposable. If you have figured a way to clean them please let me know.

As an RN I have to ask, "Are you serious?" It should go without saying that this would NOT be able to stand up to being autoclaved! You could disinfect it but it was not made to be sterile. Hope this answers your question but just in case let me state this plainly, my answer is NO.

Don't believe they are intended to be used with cleaner. I use cloths and alcohol pads.(seperately)
