Disinfecting the device
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
¡
Always switch off the device and disconnect the power plug before performing
maintenance work.
Power to the device is only disconnected by disconnecting the power plug. After the
device is switched off, some parts are still live.
¡
Only leave the device and the software on as the maintenance instructions explicitly
demand.
WARNING
Warning of biohazard
The device handles biological and biochemical substances that are potentially patho-
genic.
¡
Wear personal protective equipment when handling these substances.
¡
Observe all instructions and specifications in the safety data sheets. Observe na-
tional regulations when handling these substances.
¡
Decontaminate and clean the device after use.
Observe the following:
¡
The operator is responsible for carrying out suitable decontamination should the de-
vice become contaminated externally or internally with dangerous substances.
¡
Splashes, drops or larger liquid spillages should be removed using an absorbent ma-
terial such as absorbent cotton, laboratory wipes or cellulose.
¡
In case of biological contamination, wipe the affected area with a suitable disinfec-
tant. Then wipe the cleaned areas so that they are dry.
¡
The only suitable cleaning method for the housing is wipe disinfection. If the disin-
fectant has a spray nozzle, apply disinfectant to a suitable cloth before using it on
the device.
Proceed with particular care and ensure utmost cleanliness when working with in-
fectious material because the device cannot be decontaminated as a whole.
¡
Before using a cleaning or decontamination procedure other than the one pre-
scribed by the manufacturer, the user is required to check with the manufacturer
that the intended procedure will not damage the device. Safety labels attached to
the device must not be moistened or wiped with methanol.
As a possible disinfectant, Analytik Jena recommends:
¡
Meliseptol HBV disinfectant wipes from B. Braun
¡
The disinfectant Descosept Spezial produced by Dr. Schuhmacher GmbH is particu-
larly suitable for disinfecting the sample block.
