Clean and Disinfect
Avoid Cross Contamination
Sterilize ActiveCount100 after each cycle to avoid cross-contamination, which can adversely affect
reliability of microbial samples. Always wear a pair of sterile gloves when sterilizing ActiveCount100.
Sanitize gloved hands first, with a disinfectant solution.
Use a commercial disinfectant solution, such as 70% - 90% ethanol solution or 60% - 80%
isopropanol/water solution.
External Enclosure
To clean the external surface, spray a commercial disinfectant solution or 60% - 80% isopropanol/water
solution on a sterile tissue or wipe. Then, wipe the enclosure and petri dish holder with the damp
tissue.
Wipe dry with another sterile tissue. Always full remove and wipe dry the disinfectant solution before
reusing ActiveCount100. Let dry at room temperature.
Sampling Head & Dust Cover
Remove sampling head and dust cover from ActiveCount100. Partially or fully blocked sampling head
holes require an ultrasonic bath to remove the particles. Afterward, use an autoclave to sterilize the
sampling head and dust cover; follow a standard sterilization procedure, e.g., 134
o
C at 18 minutes for
hospital applications. Let dry at room temperature.
It is important to sterilize the sampling head and dust cover between samples. If an autoclave is not
available, use a sterile cloth with disinfectant to wipe down the sampling head and dust cover. Let dry
at room temperature.
Transport
When transporting ActiveCount100, clean and disinfect as described in this Section. Then, transport
ActiveCount100 in a sterile plastic bag.
