The agent must be specifically labelled as being an agent
for removing radioactive contaminants.
■
Ingredients of suitable agents for removing radioactive con-
taminants: anionic tensides, non-ionic tensides.
■
After removing the radioactive contaminants, remove the
agent residue by wiping with a damp cloth.
■
The surfaces must be dried directly after removing the radi-
oactive contaminants.
The shelves, support rails and the trays in the interior can be auto-
claved at a temperature of 121°C / 250°F (for 20 min).
These parts must be removed from the unit interior before auto-
claving. No statement can be made about the resulting degree of
sterility.
To ensure a long service life and error-free operation of the incubator,
the incubator should be serviced at regular intervals by the manufac-
turer or by personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer offers maintenance agreements for this purpose.
The operator is obliged to ensure that maintenance is carried out by
an authorised service technician.
Maintenance work
Before each use, ensure that the incubator is in
proper technical condition and that no restrictions
are to be expected dependent on the desired appli-
cation.
Annual maintenance - Inspection by one of the man-
ufacturer's service technicians.

Cleaning, disinfection and maintenance
Autoclaving accelerates the ageing of plastics. It can
also cause changes to the colour of plastics.
WARNING
There is a risk that the sample temperature control will
be faulty.
There is a risk that the temperature control of micro-
biological samples is not correct, which could result in
a misinterpretation of the test results or the destruc-
tion of the samples.
