About Cuff Cleaner
Cuff Cleaner's unique system design was first introduced when police officers began voicing concerns regarding handcuff liabilities. Ongoing scrutiny of Law Enforcement agencies and civil litigation has brought about the need for a more effective method of cleaning handcuffs and restraints.
What is it for?
Cuff Cleaner is designed for law enforcement, security agencies, correctional facilities, recruitment centres, police academies, the military, and training facilities. Regular handcuff sanitization helps reduce the risk of exposure to and transfer of bloodborne pathogens during daily use and training.
Why use it?
Handcuffs can become contaminated with blood and other bodily fluids during use. Clinical testing has shown they can harbour infectious pathogens, making regular cleaning and sanitization essential to help reduce the risk of disease transmission.
How does it work?
How does Cuff Cleaner work? With due diligence becoming a way of life in the field of law enforcement, improved cleaning/disinfecting methods are a must. Through modern technology, Cuff Cleaner Inc. has combined various products to create a system to produce superior cleaning performance.

FAQ
A: The Model 510 does not have the ultrasonic capability that the Cuff Clinic models have, therefore does not remove debris. Disinfection occurs with the full emersion method (F.E.M) into the Cuff Cleaner Plus solution. Using the Cuff Cleaner Plus Solution, the Model 510 has the same kill claims as all the other Cuff Clinic Models.
A: We recommend setting up procedures to change the solutions once a week.
A: This may be occurring after the recommended tap water rinse of the restraint. It is imperative that the restraints be completely free of water. Using compressed air and Cuff Cleaner Lubricant is highly recommended to keep this from occurring. The Cuff Cleaner Plus Solution has rust-inhibiting qualities; however, the rusting could occur after the water rinse stage. Please be sure to remove all moisture form the restraints and lubricate.
A: Cuff Cleaner Inc. recommends researching your state or province's legislation to learn the legislation surrounding infectious diseases and the methods and protections against the spread of deadly diseases and viruses.
A: For specialty handcuffs or restraints (Plastic or Lexan), please contact Cuff Cleaner Inc. for further information.
A: Water alone has minimal cleaning or disinfecting capabilities. Restraints are made of various metals with hidden mechanisms. Soil adheres to the restraints, creating an excellent breeding ground. The solution removes and breaks down the bond between contaminants and surface metal. This allows for the disinfecting process to take place. The Cuff Clinic accelerates the process and cleans the hidden areas of the restraints, which are difficult to clean otherwise.
A: The Cuff Clinic models have a "Tuned" system with transducers. Improper solution levels will change characteristics of the tank environment. This in turn alters the system frequency, decreases effectiveness, and if repeated continuously, it could potentially damage the cleaning unit. The solution level should always be at the recommended level indicated on Cuff Clinic and also outlined in your instruction manual. Maintaining proper solution levels provides optimum circulation of solution around restraints, protects the transducers, and extends the life of the Cuff Clinic.
The "Fill Lines" on both the Cuff Clinic & Model 510 units are a reference line for proper dilution of Cuff Cleaner Solution and water.
A: Low solution levels can seriously damage your cleaner. Should the unit be continuously operating, low solution levels will result. Turning the unit off while not in use and monitoring the solution levels when in use will yield many years of trouble-free service from your cleaning unit.
A: Time and efficiency are always a factor in our busy lives. Cuff Cleaner Inc. recognizes this and has devised a cleaner and solution to cut down the time and assist our cleaning methods. Certainly, numerous restraints can be placed in the basket at one time, as long as all the restraints are completely submerged in the solution. Larger cleaning units are available for agencies such as detention facilities that have higher quantities and volumes of cleaning needs.
A: No, the Cuff Cleaner Plus Solution has a very small parts per million (ppm) of alcohol in our fragrance; therefore, we do not recommend this.
