If the laboratory has no specific disinfection procedure, the following procedure
should be used to disinfect the outside surfaces of the instrument:
1.
Disconnect the instrument from the main power supply.
2.
Disconnect the instrument from any accessories that are used.
3.
Carefully wipe all outside surfaces of the instrument with a wad of cotton
wool soaked in the disinfecting solution.
4.
Make certain, that the same disinfection procedure is performed with the
plate carrier.
5.
Repeat the disinfection procedure on any accessories, which are also being
moved for returned.
6.
After the disinfection procedure has been performed, make certain that the
disinfection certificate is completed.
7.
Complete a safety certificate and attach it to the outside of the box so that it
is clearly visible.
See 8.4.3 Safety Certificate for an example of the safety certificate, which must
be completed before the instrument is returned to the service center for service or
repair.
8.4.3
Safety Certificate
To ensure the safety and health of personnel, our customers are kindly asked to
complete two copies of the
Safety Certificate
(which was delivered with the
instrument) and attach one copy to the top of the container in which the
instrument is returned (visible from the outside of the shipping container!) and the
other copy to the shipping documents before shipping it to the service center for
service or repair.
The instrument must be decontaminated and disinfected at the operating
authority’s site before shipping (see 8.4.2 Disinfection Procedure).
The decontamination and disinfection procedure must be performed in a well-
ventilated room by authorized and trained personnel wearing disposable powder-
free gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing.
The decontamination and disinfection procedure should be performed according
to national, regional, and local regulations.
If a Safety Certificate is not supplied, the instrument may not be accepted by the
service center.
Your local Tecan customer support can send you a new copy of the Safety
Certificate, if required.
