2.8 Safety – Handling of Electronic Components
Electrostatic discharges can cause damage to parts. When handling electronic components the
following precautions should be observed:
a) Wear a grounded wrist strap or work on a grounded static-dissipating work surface. If
this not possible touch an adjacent earth ground (i.e. central heaters or water pipes)
before handling electronic components or printed circuit boards.
b) Leave electronic components and printed circuit boards in their original packaging
until final installation.
c) Handle electronic components by their body or case, avoid touching of leads.
d) Keep electronic components and printed circuit boards away from such static
generating materials as vinyl, plastic bags, etc.
Maintenance and repair work required, but not listed in this manual,
should only be carried out by MBRAUN service or by persons of
equivalent qualification.
2.9 Safety – Chemicals and Gases
Chemicals used in the system are not supplied by MBRAUN. Chemicals are provided and
applied by the system user.
Proper handling of chemicals, corrosives and solvents is the user's responsibility. Materials
used may be flammable, explosive, toxic.
Below are some guidelines to refer to when handling chemical substances:
• Ensure the all relevant Control of Substance Hazardous to Health (COSHH) guidelines
are followed;
• Observe relevant safety regulations as well as material safety data sheets (MSDS) and
additional advice provided by the supplier;
• Wear proper protective safety masks, gloves and eyewear whenever working with
chemicals, corrosives or solvents;
• Mark all containers and supply lines of chemicals (i.e. containers of media and waste)
with appropriate labels and warning signs;
• Ensure proper ventilation and exhaustion of vapours;
• Wear proper breathing protection to avoid the risk of suffocation;
• Keep away from ignition sources;
• Do not smoke;
• Do not ingest food or beverage while working with the chemicals, corrosives or solvents
to avoid the risk of poisoning.
Released chemicals may react with each other, leading to
unwanted and/or unknown substances, which may cause additional
risks.
Proper handling of gases is the user's responsibility. Gases used may be flammable, explosive,
toxic. Below are some guidelines to refer to when handling gaseous materials:
• Do not inhale the gas to avoid risk of suffocation.
• Prevent electrostatic charging and beware of ignition sources.
• Do not smoke.
When using corrosive, gassing or noxious materials, the safety of
all employees must be ensured by whatever means necessary.
Specifically, all employees must be trained in the safe handling of
the materials to be used.
