Notes
-
As the volume in the cleaning bottles will decrease during
the cleaning cycles, be sure to secure the bottles to avoid
tilting.
-
During the described cleaning process above, some
foaming might occur on the aspiration pipette; remove
such with a soft tissue.
-
In case of heavy contaminated systems, it is recommended
to warm the detergent to 45-55 ° C prior to cleaning the
system.
-
Only the Hypochlorite Cleaner has the ability to act as a
disinfectant, significantly reducing the number of viable
microorganisms.
-
It is recommended to check calibration by running a
control after cleaning.
Precautions
-
Boule Hypochlorite Cleaner (2%) contains sodium
hypochlorite (2%). The solution is skin irritating and
causes serious eye irritation. It is marked with a hazard
pictogram.
The other two solutions do not contain
chemicals at a level considered to be hazardous to health.
However, all solutions should be handled with proper care,
and skin and eyes should be protected. Please read the SDS
before use. Since hypochlorite solutions are oxidizing with
a basic pH, avoid contact with materials other than those
indicated in the instructions (spills give a remaining smell
on e.g. skin and stains (bleaching) on clothes etc).
-
The concentration of hypochlorite decreases with time
without invalidation of the functionality within the given
expiry. Close the container as soon as possible after use.
-
Cleaners should only be used before stated expiration date.
The cleaners should be disposed of according to local
regulations. When draining through the sewage system,
always use plenty of water.
