Maintenance
Section 12 - Maintenance
Periodic cleaning is recommended as part of routine maintenance. Disinfection is also recommended
for media spills, visual accumulation of dust, and other evidence of contamination.
Clean and disinfect the G185, and when necessary sterilize the Dish Inserts, immediately after any
liquid spills.
Cleaning and disinfection should be performed with no samples inside the incubator and the incubator
switched off.
Gloves should be worn during cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing.
Periodic Cleaning
The G185 should be cleaned with sterile water.
1.
Moisten a sterile cloth with sterile water and wipe all internal and external surfaces of the
chambers including lids
2.
Leave the lids open and allow to dry completely before use
3.
Close the lids and start the unit. Let it run for a minimum of 30 minutes (with or without gas)
4.
Complete validation check (page 46)
Disinfection
