Clarus 500 GC Touch Screen
For optimum performance, the Clarus 500 GC’s touch screen may require periodic re-
calibration. The interval between re-calibration may be affected by exposure to combined
heat and humidity conditions (ambient conditions between 30
° C / 50% RH and 35 ° C / 80%
RH).
Cleaning the Instrument
Exterior surfaces may be cleaned with a soft cloth, dampened with a mild detergent and water
solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Decontamination
If the instrument or an accessory requires decontamination before repair, maintenance,
warranty or trade-in purposes at PerkinElmer, the responsible body should read the procedure
and complete the certificate which is available on the PerkinElmer public website:

Follow the “Decontamination of Instrumentation and Associated Sub-assemblies” procedure
and complete the “Certificate of Decontamination.” The certificate is used to certify the
decontamination process was completed before equipment can be returned to PerkinElmer.
