How to clean mitrefinch biometric readers
All our lumidigm fingerprint sensors can be cleaned with a 70%+ IPA wipe as frequently as you require. When cleaning, the current recommendation is that you should wear disposable gloves when disinfecting surfaces (these should be discarded after use). Make sure to wipe the whole fingerprint scanner and the area surrounding it.
However please do not use gel hand sanitisers before using the sensor, as they can leave a residue on the surface and may reduce enrolment quality on the reader. Hands should instead be disinfected after using a fingerprint sensor. The current recommendation is to clean hands by washing them with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water is not available, and the hands are not visibly dirty, an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60% alcohol can be used.
The rest of the unit may be cleaned with 70%+ wipes, telephone wipes or similar products suitable for use with electronics.
Terminals that are IP65 rated or better such as stainless steel keypads/clocks can also be cleaned with regular detergent, ideally power down them down first then rinse and dry.
Mitrefinch unfortunately cannot offer any specific advice regarding hygiene. Instead we recommend that you refer to the current guidelines, which can be found here.
