Precautions
The Caleo incubator system must be thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected
– after each patient
– at least once a week
Perform any disinfection procedures according to established
hospital protocols as well as to the following additional
instructions.
For the cleaning and disinfecting of accessories, refer to their
respective operating instructions.
WARNING !
Always follow accepted hospital procedures for handling
equipment contaminated with body fluids.
CAUTION !
Even accessories designed to be reused after cleaning have
a limited life. For example, due to a number of factors
connected with handling and preparation, disinfectant
residues can attack the material more intensely during
autoclaving; increased wear can occur and service life can be
markedly shortened. Accordingly, these parts and
accessories must be replaced when any external signs of
wear – such as cracks, deformation, discoloration, peeling,
etc., – become apparant.
WARNING !
Always disconnect power supply before cleaning and
disinfecting.
WARNING !
Risk of burns from heater!
When the incubator is closed, the heater is still hot
enough to inflict serious burns for a long time after
switching off (70
o
C =158
o
F after 1 hour).
