6 Cleaning, maintenance and inspection activities
6.1 Cleaning
The tank and supports are made of 304 stainless steel and may be cleaned with water,
isopropyl alcohol, acetone or other solvents typically used for the cleaning of stainless steel.
The control unit and driver should be cleaned with a damp cloth with water or isopropyl
alcohol (but not with acetone or other corrosive products). It is recommended that the
system be dried thoroughly after cleaning or spills.
The system should be inspected on cleanliness after every biocontainer process
termination or after a set period of time (e.g. weekly). In the event the system is found not
clean anymore, corrective actions must be taken to ensure the system is clean when
restarting a new process. Therefore the system must be cleaned after every spill and after
every biocontainer changeover.
6.2 Maintenance and inspection
The equipment is maintenance-free and must be cleaned as mentioned in 6.1.
For additional cleaning and maintenance considerations of the drive unit (Mobil 200-
Thermo Scientific) and control unit (Telemodul 80 - Thermo Scientific), please consult the
Operating Manual of these systems.
6.3
Transport
The tank castors supplied are intended for use on smooth clean room floors. In order to
prevent wheel damage, do not transport tanks across rough industrial floors where possible.
If this is unavoidable (for example during transport to final location) it is recommended that
the wheel surface are taped or the tank transported on a device such as a pallet jack.
Before moving the tanks please make sure the power cable is unplugged and stored to
prevent tripping on it.
6.4 Storage
When storing the system for periods longer than one month, it is recommended that the
drive unit and power supply be disassembled from the tank and that all parts are cleaned
and dried with a lint-free cloth.
The system must be stored in a heated room within a temperature range of 0oC to 40oC
protected against all weather conditions and dust.
Before reinstating the system after a longer period of storing, the Instructions and protocols
as mentioned in the equipment manuals must be followed again and the system should be
visually check on damages.
