Maintenance, Cleaning, and Disinfecting
8.1 General Information
8.1.1 For General Cleaning
This procedure includes cleaning the unit and the surfaces that the specimens do not
contact.
Use a lint-free cloth and apply a diluted dishwashing liquid to clean components and
surfaces.
Caution:
Use the least possible amount of cleaning fluids. The fluids must not flow or run.
8.1.2 For Disinfecting
To disinfect the system's components and surfaces, Hologic recommends the following
disinfecting solutions:
•
10% chlorine bleach solution and water with one part commercially available
chlorine bleach solution (normally 5.25% chlorine and 94.75% water) and nine
parts water. Mix this solution daily for best results.
•
Commercially available isopropyl alcohol solution (70% isopropyl alcohol by
volume, not diluted)
•
3% maximum concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution
After you apply any of the above solutions, use a clean cloth to clean the system,
observing appropriate contact (wet) times.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the electronic components, do not use disinfectant sprays on
the system.
