2 Safety and Responsibility
This section describes general considerations relating to user
safety that must be taken into account when working with the
equipment.
In the remaining sections, warning notices are used only to high-
light particular hazards directly arising from the actions being de-
scribed in the section in question.
It is essential to read the operating manual carefully – espe-
cially this section and the warning notices in the text – and to
follow the instructions therein.
This section also refers to areas that are the responsibility of the
provider due to certain risks arising from particular applications for
which the equipment is used deliberately and with full awareness
of the associated risks.
2.1 Intended Use, Incorrect Use and Misuse
Depending on its features, the equipment is designed to be
used as an incubation shaker for cultivating microorganisms
or cell cultures only under the following conditions:
Cultivation of non-pathogenic microorganisms or cell
cultures of risk category 1 in a biotechnology labora-
tory of biological protection level 1.
Cultivation of pathogenic microorganisms or cell cul-
tures of risk category 2 in a biotechnology laboratory
of biological protection level 2.
When using the equipment in protection level 2, users are re-
sponsible for taking appropriate protective measures to en-
sure that organisms cannot escape uncontrollably due to
flask breakage, unintentional detaching of the sterile seal or
similar.
The equipment is designed and constructed exclusively for the
intended use described above.
Each instance of non-conventional use is considered as misuse
and may lead to dangerous situations.
