13.2 Decontamination / chemical disinfection
The operator must ensure that proper decontamination is performed in case a contamination of the cham-
ber by hazardous substances has occurred.
Disconnect the chamber from the power supply prior to decontamination. Pull the power plug.
Do not use decontamination agents that may cause a hazard due to reaction with components of the device
or the charging material. If there is doubt regarding the suitability of cleaning products, please contact
BINDER service.
You can use the following disinfectants:
Inner chamber Standard commercial surface disinfectants free from acid or halides.
Alcohol-based solutions.
We recommend using the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022.
For chemical disinfection, we recommend using the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022.
Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other disinfectants is excluded from lia-
bility by BINDER GmbH.
With every decontamination / disinfection method, always use adequate personal safety con-
trols.
In case of impurity of the interior with biological or chemical hazardous material, there are three possible
procedures depending on the type of contamination and of the charging material.
1. The drying and heating ovens ED, FD and FED can be hot air sterilized at 190 °C / 374 °F for at least
30 minutes. All inflammable goods must be removed from the interior before. With the incubators BD
and BF it is possible to perform a hot-air disinfection at 100 °C / 212 °F.
2. Spray the inner chamber with an appropriate disinfectant.
Before start-up, the chamber must be absolute dry and ventilated, because explosive gases may form
during the decontamination process.
3. BD, ED: If necessary, have strongly contaminated inner chamber parts removed by an engineer for
cleaning, or have them exchanged. Sterilize the inner chamber parts in a sterilizer or autoclave. You can
also remove and sterilize the racks.
In case of eye contact, the disinfectant spray may cause eye damage due to chemical
burns. Follow the operating instructions and safety hints labeled on the bottle of the disin-
fectant spray.
Recommended precautions: To protect the eyes use sealed protective goggles.
CAUTION
Danger of chemical burns through eye contact with the disinfectant
spray.
Eye damage. Environmental damage
∅ Do NOT empty the disinfectant into drains.
Wear protective goggles.
After using the disinfectant spray, allow the chamber to dry thoroughly, and aerate it suffi-
ciently.
