Troubleshooting Guide - BD BBBL Sensi-Disc Handbuch

4. Fill two empty 100 mm-style Petri dishes with 20–25 mL of sterile purified water.
5. Place the dispenser over the dish containing Lysol solution.
6. Push the dispensing knob down until the tampers are released. Hold the knob in the depressed condition for 30 sec.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the isopropyl alcohol solution.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with each of the dishes of purified water. This will help ensure that the cleaning agents have been
completely removed.
The tampers have now been cleaned and decontaminated. Any remaining alcohol and water left on the tampers will evaporate. The unit may
be stored, or if testing has not been completed, dry the tampers by releasing them several times (depressing the knob fully) while the unit
is placed over a sterile towel, gauze pad, swab, or other sterile absorbent material. The tampers can also be allowed to air dry, but this will
require additional time, depending on the temperature and relative humidity in the area in which the dispenser is being stored.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
