Under normal operation, the freeze dry system requires little maintenance.
However, the following maintenance schedule is recommended:
As needed:
1.
The user has the responsibility for carrying out appropriate
decontamination if hazardous material is spilled on or inside the
equipment. This may be done by wiping the contaminated surfaces
with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol. Alcohol may craze the
acrylic door. Before using any cleaning or decontamination method
except those recommended by Labconco, users should check with
Labconco to determine that the proposed method will not damage the
equipment.
2.
Clean up all spills; remove liquids from the chamber.
3.
Clean door and gasket using soft cloth, sponge or chamois and a mild,
non-abrasive soap or detergent.
4.
Check oil level of the vacuum pump. It should be between MIN and
MAX. If the oil level is less than an inch (25.4 mm) above MIN, add
oil to proper level.
5.
If oil shows cloudiness, particles or discoloration, drain the pump and
replace with fresh oil.
6.
The use of acids requires immediate cleaning and neutralization after
a run or physical damage will result.
7.
When freeze drying biological substances, it may be necessary to
decontaminate the system. A surface decontaminant should be used
to clean the accessible surfaces.
The use of ethylene oxide is not recommended
because of its hazardous and corrosive nature.
Contact Labconco for additional information.
