6.1.3 Clean the Interface Plate
We recommend visually checking the interface plate after each run. If dust particles or debris has accumulated, clean the
interface plate as follows:
1. Use a lint-free cloth and 70% ethanol or 70% isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the bottom and top of the interface plate
to remove any debris:
2. Store the interface place in the storage container.
NOTE:
If there is a sign of tears in the surface of the silicone surface it may need to be replaced, see
Preventive Maintenance Recommendations".
6.1.4 Clean the Instrument and Touchscreen
• Use a lint-free cloth and 70% ethanol or 70% isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the top of the instrument drawer and the
instrument covers as needed.
• Wipe down the touchscreen with a lint-free cloth as needed.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not spray cleaning solution directly on the instrument or touchscreen, as it may penetrate the seams
around the screen and cause damage. Spray the cleaning solution on a lint-free cloth and then gently wipe the
instrument surface.
• Do not use bleach to clean the instrument as it is corrosive to metal.
• Before using a cleaning or decontamination method other than those recommended by Olink®, verify with Olink
Technical Support that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.
