Storage and Handling

Storing and
handling the
analyzer
Unpacking the TEG analyzer
The TEG analyzer is packaged to reduce the risk of damage during shipment.
Remove all polystyrene inserts and carefully remove the TEG analyzer from
the box. The power adapter and cables are packaged separately.
Note: Save the shipping box and molded polystyrene inserts. If the TEG
analyzer needs to be returned for repair or preventive maintenance, it must be
shipped in its original packaging in order to avoid damage. Haemonetics will
charge for any repairs necessary due to improper packaging.
Placement of the TEG analyzer
Use the following guidelines to correctly place the TEG analyzer:
Place the TEG analyzer on a flat surface such as a table or lab bench.
Proper operation of the analyzer requires adequate airflow through the
cooling fan at the rear of the device. Ensure that the fan is not obstructed
by proximity to a wall or other equipment.
Make sure that the device is positioned so that it is easy to reach and to
operate the power switch and power cord disconnection.
Storage and handling of the TEG analyzer
The TEG analyzer must be operated at room temperature (10°- 32°C).
Although the device can be stored at a temperature between -20°C and +50°C,
it must be brought to operating temperature before use. The TEG analyzer is
designed for indoor use only.
The operator should wear protective gloves when handling the TEG analyzer.
Caution: If the TEG analyzer has been stored at a temperature outside the
operating temperature range, allow sufficient time for the analyzer to
equilibrate to room temperature before use.
Note: See “Specifications” on page 88 for a complete list of environmental
conditions in which to store and operate the TEG analyzer.
