12. Certificate of Decontamination
Disinfection and decontamination are required prior to shipping the instrument and accessories for repair. Returned
instruments must be accompanied by a signed and dated Certificate of Decontamination, which must be attached to the
outside packaging of the instrument.
To disinfect and decontaminate: Wipe off the magnetic rod assembly, plunger bar, inside platform, and inside and
outside surfaces using a cloth dampened with 70% ethanol, then a cloth dampened with a 1–2% bleach solution in
deionized water. Follow immediately with a cloth dampened with deionized water to remove any residual bleach from
the instrument surfaces. Repeat the procedure as many times as required to effectively disinfect and decontaminate the
instrument.
Failure to confirm disinfection and decontamination will result in decontamination charges before the
instrument will be serviced.
Select either (A) or (B):

I confirm that the returned items have not been in contact with body fluids or toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive, or
other hazardous materials.
