Caution Although the Wellwash Versa is constructed from high-quality
materials, you must immediately wipe away spilled saline solutions,
solvents, acids, or alkaline solutions from the outer surfaces to prevent
damage and wipe them with deionized distilled water.
Caution Painted surfaces can be cleaned with most laboratory
detergents. Dilute the cleaning agent as recommended by the
manufacturer. Do not expose painted surfaces to concentrated acids or
alcohols for prolonged periods as damage may occur.
1. Switch the power off and unplug the instrument.
2. Use disposable powder-free gloves.
3. Clean the instrument exterior and the plate carrier with a soft cloth
dampened with water or mild detergent.
4. If you have spilled infectious agents on the instrument,
decontaminate the instrument. Refer to "Decontamination
procedure" on page 122.
Caution Do not use solutions containing hypochlorite, such as bleach,
on the stainless steel surfaces, as this may cause permanent damage to
the finish. ▲
Depending on the concentration of the wash buffers, crystallization
may occur around the dispense tips and bottle necks. Therefore, regular
cleaning of these parts is essential. Refer to "Cleaning liquid bottles" on
page 117 and "Clean wash head" on page 90.
The instrument comes with the priming vessel installed. The priming
vessel is correctly installed if it stays in place and does not move up. The
priming vessel is removed for maintenance purposes only.
