Cleaning / Disinfecting / Sterilizing
CAUTION !
Certain components of the incubator consist of
materials that are sensitive to certain organic
solvents sometimes used for cleaning and
disifecting (e.g., alcohols, phenols, halogen
releasing compounds, oxygen releasing
compounds, strong organic acids, etc.). Exposure
to such substances may cause damage that is not
always immediately recognized. Do not sterilize
incubator and its components with ethylene oxide
(EtO) or by exposure to UV radiation (may cause
cracks in the PMMA (Plexiglas®) parts!
To prevent any damage, we recommend that only
detergents and disinfectants are used that are
compatible with the materials used in the incubator and
its components and accessories, e.g. surface
disinfectants on the basis of
– aldehydes, or
– quarternary ammonium compounds
Ensure that all disinfectants are registered with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use as
intended. Always follow the instruction labels
specifically with respect to prescribed concentrations
and the necessary exposure times.
