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 G210, and when necessary sterilize the Dish Inserts, immediately after any
media 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.
Preparation at the Point of Use
After every patient procedure, wipe down the incubator immediately after use to prevent soil from
drying on the device by performing the following steps:
1.
Moisten a clean lint-free cloth with warm tap water (38 °C to 49 °C)
2.
Use the moistened clean, lint-free cloth and wipe off any visual soil.
Periodic Cleaning
1.
Apply evenly to all internal and external surfaces of the chambers including lids using Oosafe®
Disinfectant Spray. Allow the solution to sit on the surfaces for a minimum of one (1) minute
per chamber.
2.
Moisten a sterile non-linting cloth with purified or sterile water and wipe all surfaces for a
minimum of one (1) minute per chamber. If needed, use additional cloths if cloths become
visibly soiled.
3.
Allow chamber to air dry.
4.
Visually inspect each chamber for the absence or presence of remaining soil. While inspecting,
give particular attention to verifying soil has been removed from the hard-to-clean areas. If soil
is present, then repeat the manual cleaning steps until all visible soil is removed.
Disinfection
1.
After the incubator is clean and all visual soil has been removed, proceed with the following
instructions to disinfect the incubator as follows:
2.
Apply evenly to all internal and external surfaces of the chambers and lids using Oosafe®
Disinfectant Spray. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes for the surfaces to dry for best results.
3.
Moisten a sterile non-linting cloth with purified or sterile water and wipe all disinfected surfaces
for a minimum of one (1) minute per chamber.
Drying
Thoroughly dry all surfaces of the incubator using a sterile, lint-free wipe or cloth, changing wipes/ cloths
when necessary to ensure the incubator surfaces are completely dry. Visually inspect the surfaces of the
incubator to ensure all surfaces are clean and dry. Repeating drying steps if any moisture is visible.
