o
Leave the disinfecting detergent inside the instrument for 5-10 minutes.
o
Afterwards, remove the 0.25L bottle containing the Mucocit T, add fresh DI Water to the 0.25L DI Water
bottle and reattach it. Prime two times with DI water in order to remove the detergent from inside the
fluidics system. To do so, use two times the “Maintenance” button.
•
After having primed the instrument with DI Water to remove the Mucocit T, take out the DI Water bottle again,
empty it and leave it drying until next use. This will help to avoid contamination in the bottle.
•
Disinfect the wash buffer tank*:
o
Remove the wash buffer tank from the instrument and discard its content.
o
Fill the tank with the remaining 900 ml of Mucocit T at 4%. Gently move its content so it enters in contact
with all the surfaces of the tank. Do not shake vigorously, to avoid creating too much foam. Leave the
solution acting inside for 5-10 minutes and then rinse the tank with water thoroughly.
•
Clean the working area with a humid cloth. Avoid cleaning plastic surfaces with aggressive solvents. Plastic sur-
faces should be cleaned with a humid cloth.
*Alternative to the disinfection of wash buffer tank:
•
Take a sample from the wash buffer tank weekly and culture it in a generic medium (Blood Agar, TSA) for 48
hours. After 48 hours, if the count is higher than 100 CFU/ml, the disinfection has to be carried out as explained
above. If it is negative, the disinfection of the wash tank can be skipped.
