Cleaning Instructions
NOTE: Before they can be serviced, equipment exposed to biological, radioactive, or toxic materials must
be cleaned and disinfected. Biological contamination is presumed for any instrument, probe, or other
device that has been used with body fluids or tissues, microorganisms or with wastewater. Radioactive
contamination is presumed for any instrument, probe or other device that has been used near any
radioactive source.
If an instrument, probe, or other part is returned or presented for service without a Cleaning Certificate,
and if in our opinion it represents a potential biological or radioactive hazard, our service personnel
reserve the right to withhold service until appropriate cleaning, decontamination, and certification have
been completed. We will contact the sender for instructions as to the disposition of the equipment.
Disposition costs will be the responsibility of the sender.
When service is required, either at the user's facility or at YSI, the following steps must be taken to insure
the safety of our service personnel.
1. In a manner appropriate to each device, decontaminate all exposed surfaces, including any containers.
70% isopropyl alcohol or a solution of 1/4 cup bleach to 1 gallon tap water are suitable for most
disinfecting. Instruments used with wastewater may be disinfected with 0.5% Lysol if this is more
convenient to the user. Autoclavable products may be autoclaved.
2. The user shall take normal precautions to prevent radioactive contamination and must use appropriate
decontamination procedures should exposure occur.
3. If exposure has occurred, the customer must certify that decontamination has been accomplished and
that no radioactivity is detectable by survey equipment.
4. Cleaning must be completed and certified on any product before returning it to YSI.
5. Any product being returned to the YSI Repair Center should be packed securely to prevent damage.
