Warning: Clean spilled waste immediately by wiping the surface with 0.5% sodium
hypochlorite in water (diluted bleach). Allow the diluted bleach to contact surfaces for 15
minutes, and then rinse with water. See Table 1.2, "Recommended Cleaning Agents," in
Volume II: Maintenance. Discard any materials that come into contact with waste into
biohazard containers.
Warning: If a biohazardous spill occurs outside the PROCLEIX
follow site procedures for decontamination.
Warning: If a tip is present following power loss, biohazardous material may remain in the
tip. Following Universal Precautions, use a damp paper towel to carefully remove the tip
and appropriately dispose of the tip according to local, state, and federal regulations.
Caution: Wait 30 minutes after receiving the last "Standby-Deactivation of MTUs started"
message before beginning the Lower Bay inventory process in order to ensure that
remaining MTUs are properly deposited in the MTU Waste Container.
