14. Cleaning and decontamination
The machine must be decontaminated by cleaning according to the instructions below.
Always use suitable gloves.
It is important to decontaminate the machine to avoid transmission of drugs and infection.
• Turn off the switch.
•
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
•
Use a clean cloth to wipe the chassis and the stand with
alkaline detergent (pH> 7) and then use water to wash
away any drug residues.
•
For platinum-containing chemotherapy drugs, a cleaning
agent with acidic properties (pH <3) and water must
then be used.
After this, an alcohol-based disinfectant can be used to
eliminate microorganisms.
Alternatively, disinfectants containing surfactants can be
used, eliminating both drug residues and
microorganisms.
•
If the nature of the contamination is such that Chlorine or
Virkon is better suited, this can certainly be used.
•
Dry the sealing jaws (1) and the feeder wheels (2) with
an alcohol-based cleaner, once a week, for extended
functionality.
• Plug in the power cord to the electrical outlet.
• Turn on the switch.
• The machine is now ready to use.
