10: Maintenance, Cleaning, and Disinfecting
Warning:
Do not perform maintenance, cleaning procedures, or disinfection while the
system is being used on a patient.
10.1 General Information
10.1.1 For General Cleaning
This procedure includes cleaning the unit and the surfaces that the specimens do not
contact.
Use a lint-free cloth and apply a diluted, mild detergent to clean components and
surfaces. To remove more difficult soils, use a soft bristle brush as needed.
Caution:
Use the least possible amount of cleaning fluids. The fluids must not flow or run.
10.1.2 For Disinfecting
To disinfect the system's components and surfaces, Hologic recommends the following
disinfecting solutions:
• 10% chlorine bleach and water with one part commercially available chlorine bleach
(normally 5.25% chlorine and 94.75% water) and nine parts water. Mix this solution
daily for best results.
• Commercially available isopropyl alcohol solution (70% isopropyl alcohol by
volume, not diluted)
• Commercially available wipes containing less than or equal to 2% quaternary
ammonium compounds by weight in water.
Apply disinfecting solutions to the system using a clean, lint-free cloth or wipe. Wipe the
system with the wet cloth, observing appropriate contact (wet) times. Do not spray
cleaning solutions directly on the console or other parts of the Brevera breast biopsy
system.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the electronic components, do not use disinfectant sprays on
the system.
