Cleaning
Before beginning to clean the RM CoolClamp, make sure that the power pack
has been unplugged and all surfaces have cooled down to below +50 °C
[+122 °F].
Clean the RM CoolClamp using paraffin remover only. Xylene and other
solvents are not permitted. Wait to reactivate it until all the liquid has
evaporated.
Make sure that no liquid ingresses into the instrument (ventilation slots). Use
only enough liquid as is absolutely necessary. The assembly group is not suited
for cleaning by dipping into liquid.
To guarantee that the RM CoolClamp functions flawlessly, make sure that the
fan rotates and is not blocked. In addition, make sure that the ventilation
openings are free before and during use; see page 11.
No cleaning in the incubator is permitted.
The RM CoolClamp must not be disassembled for cleaning.
Decontamination
No units may be sent back to INHECO if contaminated. Potential harm to the
recipient's health must be precluded. The most common decontamination
method is disinfection using formaldehyde or ethylene oxide gas.
The surface decontamination may include wiping the surface. A solution of 70%
alcohol is the conventional method for effectively removing organisms.
Make sure that no moisture gets inside the unit!
Spare parts
Spare parts for the unit must be ordered through Leica Biosystems Nussloch
GmbH. Only original parts are permitted for use.
