CAUTION! Cleaning and Decontamination. Use only the cleaning and
decontamination methods specified in the manufacturer's user documentation.
It is the responsibility of the operator (or other responsible person) to ensure
the following requirements are met:
·
No decontamination or cleaning agents are used that could cause a
HAZARD as a result of a reaction with parts of the equipment or with
material contained in the equipment.
·
The instrument is properly decontaminated a) if hazardous material is
spilled onto or into the equipment, and/or b) prior to having the instrument
serviced at your facility or sending the instrument for repair, maintenance,
trade-in, disposal, or termination of a loan (decontamination forms may be
requested from customer service).
·
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods (except those
recommended by the manufacturer), users should confirm with the
manufacturer that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.
