4. Cleaning, Sterilizing and Autoclaving
The blade holder can be fitted to or removed from the vibrating head using the
Pozidriv screwdriver supplied.
The blade holder may be autoclaved by normal methods.
Replacement blade holders are available as spares should the original items be lost
or damaged.
The stainless steel inner bath and specimen platens are made from a magnetic
stainless steel; this steel is not completely immune from the effects of a.c.s.f. and the
items should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water on a regular basis.
The specimen platen and the inner (stainless steel) bath as shown in the illustration
below are autoclavable. The specimen holder is located by a circular magnet in the
inner bath. They may be separated by simply pulling the two items apart. The inner
bath is also located in the outer bath by magnets.
Autoclaving of the specimen holder and inner bath may be carried out using normal
procedures.
The outer bath and its associated parts are not autoclavable, nor should they be
dismantled.
Additional or replacement outer baths, inner baths and specimen platens are
available as spares.
