Safety instructions Biometra TRIO
14
The electrical components must be checked regularly by a qualified electrician. Any
defects, such as loose connections, faulty or damaged cables, must be repaired with-
out delay.
Before opening the device it must be switched off at the power switch and the mains
plug must be disconnected from the mains outlet!
The Biometra TRIO must be switched off immediately using the power switch (on
the equipment back plate) and the mains plug disconnected from the power supply if
any faults occur in the electric components.
Do not operate the device near sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (for ex-
ample, an unshielded, deliberately operated high frequency source), as these may af-
fect proper operation of the device.
2.6.4 Handling of samples, auxiliary and operating materials
The operator is responsible for the selection of substances used in the process as well as
for their safe handling. This is particularly important for radioactive, pathogenic, infec-
tious, poisonous, corrosive or otherwise dangerous substances. For details contact the
safety officer responsible for your location. When handling dangerous substances local
safety codes and guidelines must be observed. The following general notes do not re-
place the specific local regulations or the regulations in the safety data sheets of the
manufacturers for the auxiliary and operating materials.
The following has to be observed:
Protective goggles and rubber gloves have to be worn when handing reagents.
If only a few samples are treated, an (empty) tube of the same height must addition-
ally be placed at each corner position of the block. If the number of samples in the
block is too low, there is a risk of the tubes being damaged and sample liquid leaking
out.
For your own safety, please observe the potential infectious qualities of the exam-
ined biological material.
2.7 Safety instructions – maintenance and repair
The Biometra TRIO is usually repaired by the service department of Biometra GmbH or
its authorized and trained specialist personnel. Unauthorized repairs can damage the
device. Therefore, the operator may generally only carry out the tasks listed in section
"Maintenance and Repair" p. 109.
The following has to be observed:
The exterior of the device may only be cleaned with a damp, not dripping, cloth after
the device has been switched off.
Do not use alcohol (e.g., methanol or ethanol), organic solvents or abrasives to clean
the device.
Any maintenance on the device may usually only be carried out in the switched-off
condition (unless stated otherwise).
