Maintenance
Removable Accessories
The adjustment knob (Figure 1, No. 3) is fix mounted in the IVS. When
removing the rubber sterilizable cap (Figure 1, No. 4), simply pull it off
gradually with care.
Care, Cleaning and Disinfection
Do not clean the IVS2 with agents which are aggressive, abrasive, contain
chlorine or attack the finish of the unit. Do not allow any liquids to come in
contact with the optical elements inside the IVS2. The outer surfaces of the
IVS2 may be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth. Remove any residues with
a mixture of equal parts of alcohol and distilled water.
Sterilization of the Adjustment Knob
Only the rubber cap needs to be sterilized, if it is used. The rubber cap is steam
autoclavable at 270°F (132°C) for the appropriate time period per your
sterilizer’s instructions.
Transport of the IVS2
Always position the optical system of the IVS2 in one of the two rest positions.
Only then is the optical system properly immobilized. Avoid impacts when
moving the IVS2 to another location, since this can have an adverse affect on
the calibration of the device. Inspect the system after moving the microscope to
make sure it is in good working order. When transporting separately, avoid
unnecessary damage and costs, by transporting the IVS2 unit in its carrying
case.
Do not keep the IVS2 in a cold storage area or leave it in a vehicle during the
cold months of the year. The optics can become fogged following wide ranging
changes in temperature from cold to warm. Should this occur, give the IVS2
time to adapt to the conditions of its new location before putting it into
operation.
