1 Put on puncture-resistant gloves. Use a hemostat or other device to pick up any glass or plastic
fragments. Dispose of in a biohazard sharps container.
2 Clean any contaminated surfaces with 10% solution of household bleach (1 part bleach to 9
parts water). allow to stand 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water and dry. Household
bleach is effective against bacteria, spores, and viruses. However, it is an oxidizing agent, and
is corrosive to metal alloys. Bleach must be thoroughly wiped off the instrument with a damp
cloth and dried. It should never be used if there is surface damage to any metal parts.
For any other cleaning methods, you must contact QBC Diagnostics to verify that the proposed method
does not damage the QBC Star instrument.
CAUTION
do not immerse the QbC STAR instrument in water or other liquid.
