Disposal
Overview of Materials Used
Contamination hazard
The incubator may have been used for treating and processing infectious substances,
which may have caused contamination of the incubator and its components.
Prior to disposal, it is therefore mandatory that all incubator components be properly
decontaminated.
Clean the incubator components thoroughly, then disinfect or decontaminate them
(depending on application).
• Attach a declaration of decontamination with details on decontamination activities
performed to the items that are to be disposed of.
