Important information
Devices may be contaminated due to operation.
The vacuum pump of the BVC may contaminated as well. The protective filter with
a pore size of 0.2 µm does not avoid safely a contamination of the vacuum pump in
all cases.
Also in case of a defect of the filter or operation of the BVC without filter pathogenic
germs (e. g., bacteria, viruses, prions, fungi) may enter the pump.
Prior to decontamination the devices have to be disassembled.
When disassembling the devices avoid contact of contaminated parts with not con-
taminated parts.
Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dangerous, toxic, explosive, cor-
rosive, noxious or polluting fluids, vapors and gases and a possible contamination
of personal and environment.
Prior to decontamination clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Use water or a mild
detergent as cleaning agent.
Decontaminate all disassembled parts and the used tools using a appropriate
degassing method.
Comply with exposure time.
The applicability of the decontamination method and the selection of the appropriate
disinfectant have to be ensured by the user.
After decontamination perform an
appropriate verification procedure
, e. g., use
contact plates in order to control disinfecting measures.
Enclose an evidence of verification of the decontamination stating the detec
-
tion method with the device.
After decontamination return the device disassembled for repair.
Ensure that all parts are packed safely.
