SECTION 12 - MAINTENANCE

Periodic cleaning is recommended as part of routine maintenance. Disinfection is also
recommended for media spills, visual accumulation of dust, and other evidence of
contamination.
Clean and disinfect the G210 and, when necessary, sterilise the Dish Inserts immediately
after any media spills.
Cleaning and disinfection should be performed with no samples inside the incubator and the
incubator switched off.
Gloves should be worn during cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising.

Preparation at the Point of Use

After every patient procedure, wipe down the incubator immediately after use to prevent soil
from drying on the device by performing the following steps:
1. Moisten a clean lint-free cloth with warm tap water (38°C to 49°C)
2. Use the moistened clean, lint-free cloth and wipe off any visible soil.

Periodic Cleaning

1. Apply a laboratory detergent evenly to all surfaces using a sterile cloth. Note: use a
minimal amount of detergent on a damp cloth. Liquids entering the gas ports can cause
damage to the product.
2. Moisten a sterile non-linting cloth with purified or sterile water and wipe all surfaces
for a minimum of one (1) minute per chamber. If needed, use additional cloths if cloths
become visibly soiled.
3. Allow chamber to air dry.
4. Visually inspect each chamber for the absence or presence of remaining soil. While
inspecting, give particular attention to verifying soil has been removed from the hard-
to-clean areas. If soil is present, then repeat the manual cleaning steps until all visible
soil is removed.

Disinfection

1. After the incubator is clean and all visual soil has been removed, to disinfect the
incubator as follows:
2. Apply disinfectant evenly to all internal and external surfaces of the chambers and lids.
3. Moisten a sterile non-linting cloth with purified or sterile water and wipe all disinfected
surfaces for a minimum of one (1) minute per chamber.

Drying

Thoroughly dry all surfaces of the incubator using a sterile, lint-free wipe or cloth, changing
wipes/ cloths when necessary to ensure the incubator surfaces are completely dry. Visually
inspect the surfaces of the incubator to ensure all surfaces are clean and dry. Repeating drying
steps if any moisture is visible.
