Decontamination Procedures
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Rule (20 CFR 1910.1030) requires the decontamination of
laboratory equipment prior to servicing or shipment. (Note: see Operations Manual, Section 9, Service
and Maintenance)
Needles
Flush the needles with a disinfectant solution, if possible, or a buffer or water solution used in the
assay system.
Fluid Pathway
Cycle the pathway with a disinfectant solution, if possible, or a buffer or water solution. If during
maintenance or repair the lines will be disconnected or changed, purge the waste reagents out of the
lines.
Instrument Surfaces
Wipe the surface of the instrument with a detergent solution to remove any soiling. Then wipe the unit
down with a hospital disinfectant such as 10% chlorine bleach solution.
Waste Container
Empty and rinse all waste containers with disinfectant or water prior to shipment.
Disposables
Remove all samples, reagents, controls and disposables from the unit prior to shipment.
