are used containing radioactive or other hazardous materials.
In case of an accident with toxic, radioactive, explosive, or biologically active substances, the
device and associated equipment must be cleaned in such a way that no danger emanates
from the device and associated equipment, especially for all uninformed personnel. If a
device has to be cleaned of all remains of a substance for safety reasons, contact Bruker
service for advice and support.
Note that in serious cases it may be necessary for the owner to exchange the device with a
new one, contact Bruker service for details.
21.2 Preventative Maintenance
All parts in the device have been designed to work reliably without preventative maintenance,
except for the Fan Tray. The life expectancy of DC fans is usually lower than that of other
electronic parts. Therefore, preventative maintenance may be useful.

contact Bruker customer service.

customer service can obtain additional debugging information. These files do not contain any
information about your company, samples or spectra. Bruker will not give any information to a
third party.
