Decontamination
Decontamination is required, for example, when leakage or spillage has
occurred, or before service or transport of the device. Use a suitable
cleaning detergent or disinfectant to ensure that the treatment renders
the device safe to handle.
Parts required
•
Suitable cleaning detergent (or disinfectant)
•
Purified water
•
Lint-free cloths or wipes
CAUTION—Explosive Gas Mixtures from Alcoholic Cleaning Detergents
Alcohol-containing cleaning detergents may form flammable and
explosive gas mixtures when exposed to air.
•
Use such cleaning detergents only when required and only in
adequately ventilated rooms.
•
Avoid open flames or exposure to excessive heat during the cleaning
process.
•
Wipe the cleaned components thoroughly dry after cleaning. Do not
operate the device before it is completely dry.
NOTICE
Observe the following:
•
Only use cleaning detergents that will not damage the surfaces of
the system.
•
Never use sharp tools or brushes for cleaning any surfaces.
•
Do not use sprays for cleaning.
•
Prevent cleaning detergent from entering the flow path.
•
Do not use excessively wetted cloth or wipes for cleaning. Prevent
any liquids from entering the functional components of the device.
Liquids can cause a short circuit when getting in contact with the
electronic components.
NOTICE—Flow Cell Opening
The optical ports and the contact pad for the identification chip in the
flow cell opening are sensitive to electrostatic discharge, contamination
and scratches.
Do not touch any surfaces or optical ports in the flow cell opening.
