Cleaning the workstation
7.1
To ensure that your Invivo
2
Plus workstation remains at optimum working conditions, it must be
cleaned on a regular basis. A basic clean is required after each use. Deep cleaning is required at
regular intervals, dependent upon the nature of the materials used in the workstation. As a guide, a
deep clean should be performed at between 3-6 month intervals.

agents will damage the workstation and invalidate the warranty. The following cleaning agents are
