5.0 Cleaning and Disinfection

TrakStation

Cleaning

  1. The exterior of the TrakStation can be cleaned periodically.  Turn off the TrakStation, disconnect from power and disconnect the TrakPods prior to cleaning the exterior surfaces.
  2. Apply Oosafe Disinfectant Spray evenly to all surfaces of the TrakStation. Allow the solution to sit on the surfaces for a minimum of one (1) minute.
  3. Moisten a sterile non-linting cloth with purified or sterile water and wipe all surfaces for a minimum of one (1) minute. If needed, use additional cloths if cloths become visibly soiled.
  4. Allow TrakStation to air dry.
  5. Visually inspect TrakStation for the absence or presence of remaining soil. While inspecting, give particular attention to verifying soil has been removed from hard-to-clean areas.  If soil is present, then repeat the manual cleaning steps until all visible soil is removed.
  6. Reconnect power and cables and turn back on.

TrakPod

The TrakPod fixture component is cleaned and disinfected with the incubator chambers.  Run the qc2 alignment test prior to cleaning and disinfecting.  Follow instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the incubator that are found in the incubator user’s manual.

sv2 Sensors

  CAUTION: The sv2 sensors cannot be cleaned, disinfected or reused.

qc2 Alignment Tool

Cleaning

The exterior of the QC Alignment Tools may be cleaned in the same manner as described for the TrakStation above. Do not attempt to open or clean the inside of the QC Alignment Tools.

Disinfection

After the surfaces are clean and all visual soil has been removed, proceed with the following instructions to disinfect the surfaces as follows:

  1. Promptly soak up excess liquid using a sterile cloth.
  2. Apply Oosafe Disinfectant Spray evenly to all exterior surfaces. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes for the surfaces to dry for best results.
  3. Moisten a sterile non-linting cloth with purified or sterile water and wipe all disinfected surfaces for a minimum of one (1) minute.
  4. Thoroughly dry all surfaces using a sterile, lint-free wipe or cloth, changing wipes / cloths when necessary to ensure the incubator surfaces are completely dry. Visually inspect the surfaces of the incubator to ensure all surfaces are clean and dry.  Repeat drying steps if any moisture is visible.
