When service is required, either at the user's facility or at a YSI Service
Center, the following steps must be taken to ensure the safety of service
personnel.

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 is
suitable for most disinfecting. Instruments used with wastewater
may be disinfected with .5% Lysol if this is more convenient to
the user.
•
The user shall take normal precautions to prevent radioactive
contamination and must use appropriate decontamination
procedures should exposure occur.
•
If exposure has occurred, the customer must certify that
decontamination has been accomplished and that no
radioactivity is detectable by survey equipment.

Any product being returned to the YSI Repair Center should be
packed securely to prevent damage.

Cleaning must be completed and certified on any product before
