Disinfection
CAUTION – WARNING!
There could be infectious material caused by any breaks in the vessel or spillage in the centri-
fuge. Danger of infection on contact!
Observe the permitted filling volume!
In the case of contamination, immediately disinfect the rotor, rotor chamber, and if necessary, ac-
cessories (adapter).
Wear protective gloves!
If, during the centrifugation process, a leakage containing infectious material occurs at one of the centrifu-
gation vessels, the centrifuge must be immediately disinfected. When doing this, please observe the fol-
lowing:
To decontaminate the rotor chamber and the rotor in the case of contamination, only use disinfectants ap-
proved by KENDRO, which are to be used according to the instructions for use of the product:

œ
The rotor and the accessories can be disinfected as follows. Observe the safety guidelines, which are
valid when treating with infectious material.
1. Disconnect from the power supply (pull the mains plug).
2. Remove the centrifuge vessels and adapters and dispose of or disinfect them.
3. Treat the rotor and the rotor lid according to the instructions for the disinfectant (either submerse in solu-
tion or spray). The given time to take effect must be observed.
4. Afterwards, rinse the rotor and rotor lid well with water.
5. Dispose of the disinfectant solution according to current guidelines.
6. Afterwards, aluminium parts must be treated with corrosion protection oil (order number 70009824).
Attention!
To decontaminate and preserve blood bag buckets and plastic inserts, a rinsing machine with programs
specially developed for this purpose can be used. (More information on request).
Condensation outlet
Condensation can form through humidity or not hermetically closed samples depending on the temperature
in the rotor chamber. The liquid runs into a storage tank, which must be emptied regularly.
The condensation tank is easily accessible after opening the front panel of the appliance (after pulling out
the tube, the tank can be removed from the mount).
CAUTION!
Condensation outlets, tubes and storage tanks, which could easily become a source of bacteria from spilt
blood, serum or plasma, must be disinfected regularly, if sample material of this type is centrifuged regu-
larly.
It is recommended that approx. 50-100 ml liquid disinfectant is always left in the condensation tank.
