When to
Decontaminate
Apart from regular decontamination, the user must thoroughly decontaminate the
instrument according to standard laboratory regulations in the following cases:
Before any maintenance or service work is performed on the instrument
In case of accidents (e.g. crash, spilled substances, etc.)
Before a Illumina field service engineer (FSE) performs any on-site work on
the instrument
Before the instrument or parts of it are returned to Illumina (e.g. for repair)
Prior to storage of the instrument
Prior to disposal of the instrument or parts of it
Generally before the instrument or parts of it leave the user’s site
Decontamina-
tion Method
The decontamination method must be adapted to the respective application and
the substances associated with it. The user takes the full responsibility for the
appropriate decontamination of the entire equipment.
WARNING
Biological or chemical hazard and/or radioactive radiation.
Contamination hazard due to parts of the instrument which are not completely
decontaminated.
Not only the parts having direct contact with chemicals or biological material must
be treated, but also the tubing system as well as the whole upstream equipment.
Certificate of
Decontami-
nation
Before a Illumina FSE carries out any work on the instrument, or before the
instrument is returned to Illumina, the owner of the instrument must confirm in
writing that the decontamination has been performed properly and in accordance
with good laboratory practice guidelines. For this, the owner must enclose a
declaration (e.g. Certificate of Decontamination).
Illumina can provide the corresponding forms (Certificate of Decontamination or
Repair Order) in case the owner of the instrument has no template for such a
declaration at hand. Contact the Illumina helpdesk for further information.
Note:
Illumina reserves the right to refuse any instrument or a part of it, or will
charge an extra fee, if the decontamination is not declared sufficiently.
