Sterilization Procedures
To sterilize the EVOS
®
XL Core Imaging System, follow these procedures:
1. Turn power OFF.
2. Clean the LCD display.
a. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe off any dust from the screen.
b. Clean the LCD display with a non-alcohol based cleaner made for flat-
panel displays.
IMPORTANT! Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the screen, as it
may drip into the display or optics.
3. Lightly wipe the working surfaces (stage top, focus knobs, objective turret,
housing) with paper towels or Kimwipes
®
laboratory tissue dampened with
70% ethanol or 4,000 ppm hydrogen peroxide (H
2
O
2
).
IMPORTANT! Do not allow sterilization solution to get into lubricated
areas, such as the stage roller bearings, or any points of rotation such as
axles for the stage knobs, condenser wheel, etc. Do not soak any surface in
sterilization solution. NEVER spray liquid anywhere on the EVOS
®
XL
Core Imaging System. Always wipe surfaces with dampened paper towels
instead.
4. If it is necessary to sterilize the condenser, do not apply solution directly to the
condenser assembly. Instead, select the desired phase ring, and then cover the
condenser with clear plastic wrap and wipe the wrap with sterilization
solution.
IMPORTANT! EVOS
®
XL Core Imaging System should not be subjected to
UV sterilization. UV degrades many materials, including plastic. Damage
from UV exposure is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
