Cleaning Instructions; Ysi Factory Authorized Service Centers - Xylem YSI 2500 User Manual

12.1.2 Cleaning Instructions

NOTE: Before they can be serviced, equipment exposed to biological, radioactive, or toxic materials must be cleaned and
disinfected. Biological contamination is presumed for any instrument, probe, or other device that has been used with body
fluids or tissues, microorganisms or with wastewater. Radioactive contamination is presumed for any instrument, probe or
other device that has been used near any radioactive source.
If an instrument, probe, or other part is returned or presented for service without a Cleaning Certificate, and if in our
opinion it represents a potential biological or radioactive hazard, our service personnel reserve the right to withhold
service until appropriate cleaning, decontamination, and certification have been completed. We will contact the sender for
instructions as to the disposition of the equipment. Disposition costs will be the responsibility of the sender.
When service is required, either at the user's facility or at YSI, the following steps must be taken to insure the safety of our
service personnel.
1. In a manner appropriate to each device, decontaminate all exposed surfaces, including any containers. See Section
8.1for a list of authorized cleaning agents. Instruments used with wastewater may be disinfected with 0.5% Lysol if
this is more convenient to the user. Autoclavable products may be autoclaved.
2. The user shall take normal precautions to prevent radioactive contamination and must use appropriate
decontamination procedures should exposure occur.
3. If exposure has occurred, the customer must certify that decontamination has been accomplished and that no
radioactivity is detectable by survey equipment.
4. Any product being returned to the YSI Repair Center should be packed securely to prevent damage.
5. Cleaning must be completed and certified on any product before returning it to YSI.
