The incubator may have been used for treating and processing
infectious substances, which may have caused contamination of the
incubator and its components.
Prior to disposal, it is therefore mandatory that all incubator
components be properly decontaminated.
Clean the incubator components thoroughly, then disinfect or
decontaminate them (depending on application).
Attach a declaration of decontamination with details on
decontamination activities performed to the items that are to be
disposed of.
