Decontamination - Beckman Coulter Avanti J-20 XP Instruction Manual

Tube Breakage

DECONTAMINATION

• Clean the drive hub regularly using Solution 555 (diluted 10 to 1
with water) and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
If a glass tube breaks, and all the glass is not contained in the bucket
or rotor, be sure to thoroughly clean the chamber.
!
WARNING
Be careful when examining or cleaning the
chamber and chamber gasket, as sharp glass
fragments may be embedded in their
surfaces.
• Examine the chamber gasket to make sure that no glass particles
are retained in it. Carefully remove any glass particles that may
remain.
• Carefully wipe away any glass particles that remain in the
chamber.
If the instrument and/or accessories are contaminated with radioac-
tive or pathogenic solutions, perform all appropriate safety and
decontamination procedures. Refer to Appendix A in Rotors and
Tubes or publication IN-175 to be sure the decontamination method
will not damage any part of the instrument.
