DECONTAMINATION
WARNING! To prevent electrical shock, always turn off and unplug the instrument prior to performing
decontamination procedures.
The following areas can be cleaned with any hospital-grade bactericide, virucide, or fungicide
disinfectant:
•
Outer lid and chassis
•
Inner reaction block surface and reaction block wells
•
Control panel and display
To prepare and apply the disinfectant, refer to the instructions provided by the product manufacturer.
Always rinse the reaction block and reaction block wells several times with water after applying a
disinfectant. Thoroughly dry the reaction block and reaction block wells after rinsing with water.
WARNING! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents or strong alkaline solutions. These agents can
scratch surfaces and damage the reaction block, resulting in loss of precise thermal control.
