Our Recommendations

IB Cleaning Kit

IB Cleaning Kit

The IB cleaning kit is the ideal option for cleaning whatsoever IB scanner. Available in 2oz. and 32oz. refill bottles. Visit the shop to learn more and see additional products.

Our recommended procedure for personal sanitization is to have people sanitize later touching the scanner. If non-alcohol based cleaners or sanitizers are non available, then the following recommendations should
exist followed:

If people insist on sanitizing before they affect the scanner, make sure their easily are dry and any sanitizing fluid on their hands has evaporated before the scanner is touched.
If alcohol-based sanitizers must be used to sanitize the scanner surface (non recommended), the platen should exist sanitized and dried quickly. Alcohol cannot be left on the platen surface wet or damage will occur.

Use a water-moistened rag to remove clay and droppings.
Mild soap or detergent may exist used for stubborn dirt and grime.
Wipe completely dry using a clean, microfiber material.

The World Wellness Organization has said that, "…hand hygiene is the primary measure to reduce infections…On the footing of research into the aspects influencing hand hygiene compliance and all-time promotional strategies, new approaches have proven effective."

They have suggested that nations, "Make improved hand hygiene adherence a national priority…" and "Promote paw hygiene at the customs level to strengthen both self-protection and the protection of others."

In low-cal of increased concern regarding the spread of infectious disease, Integrated Biometrics (IB) recommends the following protocol for the cleaning and sanitization of our award-winning FBI-certified fingerprint scanners:

It is recommended that IB products exist cleaned twice daily using the Integrated Biometrics Cleaning Solution available at https://integratedbiometrics.com/ib-shop/
Based on the characteristics of our patented Lite Emitting Sensor (LES) moving-picture show, sanitizing solutions containing Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (too referred to as Benzalkonium Chloride) at 0.26% concentration, or wet cleaning cloths containing Benzethonium Chloride at a 0.xxx% concentration may also be used. Domicile and commercial products containing these ingredients are widely available. Following these guidelines will not damage or compromise the functioning of IB fingerprint scanners.

After sanitizing the surface of the IB fingerprint scanner, allow time for the sanitizing product to evaporate. Alternatively, a clean microfiber cloth may be used to dry the touch surface.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizing liquids should never be applied directly to the IB scanner surface, equally this may void the warranty. If these products are used, please ensure hands have completely dried before they touch the scanner surface.
