11.1 CLEANING

Failure to carry out the correct cleaning operations could increase the risk of cross-infection due to presence of body fluids and/or residues.
The operator must wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc. during all checking and cleaning operations.
Metal parts exposed to external agents undergo surface treatments and/or coating in order to obtain better resistance. Clean the exposed parts with water and delicate soap.
Never use solvents or stain removers.
Do not use cleaning agents containing sodium hypochlorite as corrosion of components may occur.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, making sure you have removed all traces of soap, which may deteriorate or compromise conditions and durability. Avoid using high
pressure water, as it penetrates the joints and removes lubricant, creating the risk of corrosion on components. Let dry completely before storing. Drying after washing or after
use in a wet environment must be natural and not forced. Do not use flames or other direct heat sources.
If disinfecting, use products that do not have a solvent or corrosive action on materials constituting the device. Be sure to take all precautions to ensure that there is no risk of
cross-infection or contamination of patients and operators.

11.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Establish a maintenance program and periodic checks, identifying a designated reference person. The person entrusted with maintenance of the device must ensure the
basic requirements envisaged by the Manufacturer within these instructions for use.
All routine and special maintenance activities and all general overhauls must be recorded and documented with the relevant technical intervention reports. This
documentation must be kept for at least 10 years after the end of the device's life and must be made available to the competent authorities and/or the Manufacturer
when requested.
The operator must wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc. during all checking, maintenance and cleaning operations.
Checks to be carried out before and after each use and in any case every 3 months are as follows:
• General functionality of the device
• Cleanliness of the device (remember that the failure of cleaning may cause the risk of cross infections)
• Correct tightening of all nuts, bolts and screws
• Absence of holes, tears or abrasions on the entire structure
• None of the tubes or metal sheets present bends or cracks
• Welded areas are intact, without any cracks or breaks
• Moving parts, wheels, levers, handles are intact and work properly
After having identified the suitable position in relation to the incubator in use, it is possible to lock the sup-
ports by tightening the locking screws until they come to a stop, then proceed with the drilling necessary
to fix the incubator, which must pass through the rectangular-section tube.
400 mm
The choice of the number of holes, their positioning and the type of screws to be used is the responsi-
bility of the installer, who is responsible for assessing compliance of the fixing in accordance with the
regulations in force.
