A diagnostic imaging device is provided that includes a display panel, a set of switches including at least one of a proximity switch and a capacitive switch, and a one-piece non-flexible facade covering the display panel and the set of switches. The facade is transparent over at least a portion of the display panel and configured such that the set of switches are operable by a user. A method for cleaning the imaging system includes operating the diagnostic imaging device, including the set of switches, by touching the one-piece non-flexible facade with human fingers or a stylus over selected switches, and, after said operating the diagnostic imaging device, disinfecting the diagnostic imaging device by cleaning the one-piece non-flexible facade with quaternary ammonium or isopropyl alcohol, or both. |
