Translation of the original operating manual
In order to completely remove the glass particles and metal dust from
the rotor chamber
• Grease the upper third of the rotor chamber with e.g. Vaseline.
• Then, let the rotor rotate for a few minutes at maximum speed and
atmospheric pressure. The glass and metal particles will now collect at
the greased part.
• Remove the grease with the glass and metal particles with a cloth.
• If necessary, repeat this procedure.
• Clean the rotor shaft.

Disinfection of the rotor chamber and accessories
• Use commercially-available disinfectants such as, for example, Incidur
®
,
Meliseptol
®
, Sagrotan
®
, Buraton
®
or Terralin
®
(available at chemist’s
shops or drugstores).
• The rotational vacuum concentrator and the accessories consist of
various materials. A possible incompatibility must be considered.
• Before using cleaning or decontamination agents that were not
recommended by us, contact the manufacturer to ensure that such a
procedure will not damage the rotational vacuum concentrator.
• For autoclaving, consider the continuous heat resistance of the
individual materials.
• Please contact us if you have any queries (see chapter 8.4 - "Service").
DANGER
If dangerous materials (e.g. infectious and pathogenic substances) are
used, the RVC and the accessories must be disinfected.

8.3 Autoclaving
The service life of the accessories essentially depends on the frequency of
autoclaving and use.
• Remove the existing O-rings so that the trapezoid notch can be reached
by the hot steam. This prevents the formation of humidity in the notch..
• Replace the accessories immediately when the parts show changes in
colour or structure or in the occurrence of leaks etc.
