9.2.2 Decontamination
The operator must ensure that proper decontamination is performed in case a contamination of the
chamber by hazardous substances has occurred.
Disconnect the chamber from the power supply prior to decontamination. Pull the power plug.
Do not use decontamination agents that may cause a hazard due to reaction with components of the
device or the charging material. If there is doubt regarding the suitability of cleaning products, please
contact BINDER service.
You can use the following disinfectants:
Inner chamber
Standard commercial surface disinfectants free from acid or halides.
Alcohol-based solutions.
We recommend using the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022.
For chemical disinfection, we recommend using the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022.
Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other disinfectants is excluded from
liability by BINDER GmbH.
With every decontamination method, always use adequate personal safety controls.
In case of impurity of the interior with biological or chemical hazardous material, there are three possible
procedures depending on the type of contamination and of the charging material.
(1) The drying and heating ovens FED can be hot air sterilized at 190 °C for at least 30 minutes. All
inflammable goods must be removed from the interior before.
(2) Spray the inner chamber with an appropriate disinfectant.
Before start-up, the unit must be absolute dry and ventilated, because explosive gases may form
during the decontamination process.
(3) If necessary, have strongly contaminated inner chamber parts removed by an engineer for cleaning,
or have them exchanged. Sterilize the inner chamber parts in a sterilizer or autoclave.
In case of eye contact, the disinfectant spray may cause eye damage due to chemical
burns. Follow the operating instructions and safety hints labeled on the bottle of the
disinfectant spray.
Recommended precautions: To protect the eyes use sealed protective goggles.
CAUTION
Eye contact.
Eye damage due to chemical burns.
∅
Do NOT empty into drains.
Wear protective goggles.
After using the disinfectant spray, allow the unit to dry thoroughly, and aerate it sufficiently.
