8: Maintenance, Cleaning, and Disinfecting
8.1 General Information
8.1.1 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 dishwashing liquid to clean components and
surfaces.
Caution:
Use the least possible amount of cleaning fluids. The
fluids must not flow or run.
8.1.2 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)
• 3% maximum concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution
After you apply any of the above solutions, use a clean cloth to clean the system,
observing appropriate contact (wet) times.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the electronic components, do not
use disinfectant sprays on the system.
