Replacing the waste cubitainer
Introduction
This topic describes the procedures for preparing a 10% bleach
solution and for replacing the waste cubitainer. You must replace
the waste cubitainer whenever it gets close to being full.
You can use BD FACSClean™ at full strength as a replacement for
10% bleach.
Preparing 10%
bleach solution
Prepare a 10% bleach solution using a high quality, particulate-
free bleach. The bleach solution will be used to store the sensor
probe of the waste cap assembly while you change the waste
cubitainer.
To prepare a 10% bleach solution:
1. Pour 45 mL of distilled water into a 500-mL beaker.
2. Carefully add 5 mL of undiluted bleach to the same beaker.
Caution!
Replace and tighten all caps when
reassembling the containers and cubitainers. Loose
caps can result in fluid leakage.
Caution!
Prepare a fresh 10% bleach solution each time
you change the waste cubitainer
