16.1.2

Surface disinfection

•
If infectious materials penetrates into the centrifugal chamber this is to be disinfected immediately.
•
Ingredients of suitable disinfectants:
ethanol, n-propanol, isopropyl alcohol, glutardialdehyde, quaternary ammonium compounds.
•
After using disinfectants, remove the disinfectant residue by wiping with a damp cloth.
•
The surfaces must be dried immediately after disinfecting.
16.1.3

Removal of radioactive contaminants

•
The agent must be specifically labelled as being an agent for removing radioactive contaminants.
•
Ingredients of suitable agents for removing radioactive contaminants:
anionic tensides, non-ionic tensides, polyhydrated ethanol.
•
After removing the radioactive contaminants, remove the agent residue by wiping with a damp cloth.
•
The surfaces must be dried directly after removing the radioactive contaminants.
16.2

Rotor and accessories

•
In order to prevent corrosion and material changes, the rotor and accessories must be cleaned regularly with
soap or a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Cleaning is recommended at least once a week, even better after
every usage.
•
If the rotor or accessories are contaminated by pathogenic or radioactive material, appropriate cleaning must be
carried out.
•
Ingredients of suitable disinfectants:
glutaraldehyde, propanol, ethyl hexanol, anionic tensides, corrosion inhibitors.
•
Ingredients of suitable agents for removing radioactive contaminants:
anionic tensides, non-ionic tensides, polyhydrated ethanol.
•
The rotor and accessories must be dried immediately after cleaning.
•
The rotor and accessories must be checked monthly for corrosion damage.
The rotor and accessories must no longer be used if they show signs of wear or corrosion.
•
Check the firm seating of the rotor on a weekly basis.

16.4

Centrifuge containers

•
With leakiness or after the breakage of centrifuging containers broken container parts and leaked centrifugation
material are to be completely removed.
•
The rubber inserts as well as the plastic sleeves of the rotors are to be replaced after a glass breakage.
Remaining glass splitters cause further glass breakage!
•
If this concerns infectious material, a disinfection process is to be executed immediately.
