CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before they can be serviced, equipment exposed to biological, radioactive, or
toxic materials must be cleaned and disinfected. Biological contamination is presumed
for any instrument, probe, or other device that has been used with body fluids or tissues,
or with wastewater. Radioactive contamination is presumed for any instrument, probe or
other device that has been used near any radioactive source.
If an instrument, probe, or other part is returned or presented for service without a
Cleaning Certificate, and if in our opinion it represents a potential biological or
radioactive hazard, our service personnel reserve the right to withhold service until
appropriate cleaning, decontamination, and certification has been completed. We will
contact the sender for instructions as to the disposition of the equipment. Disposition
costs will be the responsibility of the sender.
When service is required, either at the user's facility or at YSI, the following steps must
be taken to insure the safety of our service personnel.
"
In a manner appropriate to each device, decontaminate all exposed surfaces, including
any containers. 70% isopropyl alcohol or a solution of 1/4 cup bleach to 1-gallon tap
water are suitable for most disinfecting. Instruments used with wastewater may be
disinfected with .5% Lysol if this is more convenient to the user.
"
The user shall take normal precautions to prevent radioactive contamination and must
use appropriate decontamination procedures should exposure occur.
"
If exposure has occurred, the customer must certify that decontamination has been
accomplished and that no radioactivity is detectable by survey equipment.
"
Any product being returned to the YSI Repair Center, should be packed securely to
prevent damage.
"
Cleaning must be completed and certified on any product before returning it to YSI.
