Sanyo MCO-19AIC, UV H2O2 DECONTAMINATION

H2O2 DECONTAMINATION

㩷

When the chamber has been contaminated, or when cleaning the chamber prior to starting a culture,

H2O2 decontamination can be performed using the H2O2 Generator.

z The following products must be purchased separately in order to perform H2O2 decontamination. Before

performing H2O2 decontamination, check to make sure that these are correctly installed.

x UV Lamp Expansion Kit (MCO-19UVS) (Not required for the MCO-19AIC(UV).)

x H2O2 Decontamination Kit (MCO-HL)

x H2O2 Generator (MCO-HP)

z The H2O2 decontamination function decontaminates the chamber and the inner attachments. Do not

place any objects other than the specified attachments in the chamber during decontamination.

z Before performing H2O2 decontamination, clean the chamber and the inner attachments with sterilizing

alcohol.

z The chamber temperature during H2O2 decontamination reaches 45qC. Before performing H2O2

decontamination, set the upper limit temperature alarm to 50qC or higher.

z For the H2O2 reagent, use one bottle of the H2O2 Decontamination Reagent specified by Sanyo

(MCO-H202).

z After decontamination, dilute the residual H2O2 Decontamination Reagent in the H2O2 Generator with a

large quantity of water and dispose of it, and rinse with distilled water. (Do not wash either the inside or

outside of the H2O2 Generator with alcohol.)

WARN ING

Use the reagent specified by Sanyo for H2O2 decontamination. Using a different H2O2 solution may

cause explosion or damage to the Incubator, or insufficient decontamination.

Do not use chemicals other than the H2O2 reagent, such as alcohol. Doing so may result in damage

to the H2O2 Generator.

WARN ING

When performing H2O2 decontamination, make sure that the outer and inner doors are securely

closed. During H2O2 decontamination, plug the access hole with the silicon cap that is provided. Failure to

do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H2O2 gas.

CAUTION

H2O2 decontamination can be performed only for the chamber and chamber attachments with standard

specifications, and not for any other objects.
