Intended use also includes following all the instructions in this man-
ual, especially those relating to:
The installation site
Use of suitable cultivation vessels
User qualifications
Permissible parameter setpoints
Correct operation and maintenance
Any failure to observe the requirements specified in this manual
shall be deemed incorrect use, in particular, use of inappropriate
cultivation vessels and/or unsuitable holders at speeds that are too
high.
Any use of the equipment outside the scope of the intended use as
described above shall be deemed misuse. This also applies to ap-
plications for which the equipment is not designed, especially the
following:
The equipment is not protected against explosions. Use and
manufacture of explosive gases as well as operating the
equipment in the Ex area are therefore not permitted.
The equipment is not designed to sufficiently protect its users
if pathogenic organisms escape uncontrollably. Cultivation of
pathogenic organisms of risk categories 3 and 4 is therefore
not permitted.
To use the equipment for special applications not covered by con-
ventional, intended use, the equipment must be modified and certi-
fied accordingly by the manufacturer.
Any use of the equipment outside of a biotechnology laboratory,
i.e. in any environment in which the conditions required for the
safety of users cannot be met or cannot be met to their full extent,
shall also be deemed misuse.
2.2 Cultivation Vessels to Be Used
Significant forces are applied to cultivation vessels, in particular in
case of large vessels and high speeds. Hence, the cultivation ves-
sels used are particularly significant in relation to user safety.
Use of unsuitable or defective cultivation vessels can lead to
glass breakage and therefore damage to property.
