Products with optical components can be steam-autoclaved using the conditions listed
above. However, this may cause a layer of dots and streaks to form on the glass surface,
which may reduce the optical performance.
Cleaning
Needed: water, detergent, spirits, microber cloth
1. Flush the surface with running water (<40 °C), using a little detergent if necessary.
2. Also use spirits to clean optical components.
3. Dry optical components using a microber cloth, dry the rest of the product using
a paper towel.
Disinfection
After disinfection, thoroughly clean optical surfaces using running water/fresh drinking water
and then rinse using fresh, demineralized water.
Dry the products completely before the subsequent sterilization.
