CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL
It is important that decontamination and cleaning of the instrument becomes an
automatic routine - especially if the source of material is unknown. It is recommended
that a log is kept which lists:
i
Material Cut.
ii
Degree of Risk.
iii Decontamination Performed.
iv Name of User.
v Department.
Cleaning is a part of good laboratory housekeeping practice. External cleaning
requirements are straightforward. The Refrigerated Chamber should only be washed
and cleaned after the Chamber is thoroughly decontaminated by fumigation. The
instrument should be inspected for obvious damage whenever it is cleaned. If any
damage is found, contact your Thermo supplier.
Routine maintenance by the Operator does not require the removal of any panels or
fixtures. Precision maintenance and adjustment should only be performed by Thermo
trained Service personnel and it is recommended that a Maintenance Contract is
obtained from our Service Department.
