Specimens should be regarded as biologically hazardous. Use of
the components like the guard bowl for biological safety may not
be enough to prevent contamination with pathogenic organisms.
The instrument and guard bowl, however, are not resistant to an
UV germicidal lamp or ozone.
6.1.2 Warnings
Avoid using deteriorated or broken or deformed
components, for instance, a specimen chamber,
chamber holder, guard bowl and gaskets.
Do not open the instrument lid when the rotor
(guard bowl) is rotating.
Doing so may result in an accident or injury.
Do not move the instrument when the rotor
(guard bowl) is rotating.
Doing so may result in accident or injury. After the rotor has
stopped, unplug the power cord before moving the instrument.
Arrange specimen chambers diagonal to each
other when placing them into the rotor.
Loading only one or an odd number of specimen chambers will
cause the rotor to become unbalanced during rotation, resulting
in abnormal, dangerous vibration. In the event of abnormal
vibration, immediately switch off the instrument.
Avoid selecting a longer process time.
The process time is selectable from 0 minute and 1 second to 99
minutes and 59 seconds. However, a prolonged process time
may make specimens dry. Consider an appropriate process time
before setting the time.
Connect the power cord firmly
Loose connections may cause the connected part to generate
heat or the voltage to decline, leading to not only improper
operation of the instrument but also unexpected accident or
injury.
Turn off the power before performing cleaning.
Turn off the power before performing cleaning unless
otherwise instructed in this manual.
After sterilized by an autoclave, the guard bowl
and other components will be very hot. Be
careful not to get burned.
Use specified fuses.
Place the instrument on a sturdy laboratory table
or bench.
Failure to do so may result injury or accident.
Install the instrument in a horizontal and vertical
posture.
The instrument in a slanted posture may lead to an accident.
Leave 30cm or more of clearance around the
instrument.
Do not remove caution labels from the
instrument.
Without these labels, the operator cannot be reminded of
necessary warnings and cautions for daily handling of the
instrument, which may result in an accident or injury.
Do not place obstruction on movable
components.
Do not spill any organic solvent on the
instrument.
Open and close the guard bowl lid and
instrument lid slowly.
6.1.3 Cautions
Be careful not to pinch your hand when opening
or closing the instrument lid.
Do not make a strong impact on the transparent
window.
Doing so may break the transparent window and cause injury.
Do not remove warning/caution labels from the
instrument.
Without these labels, operator cannot be reminded of necessary
warnings and cautions for daily handling of the instrument, which
may result in an accident or injury.
When sterilizing the guard bowl unit by high
pressure steam, wear protective clothing like
gloves and avoid getting burned.
When disinfecting the exterior and interior of the
instrument, wear protective clothing and place
the instrument inside a safety chamber.
Do not use the disinfectants other than listed
below. Doing so may result in an accident.
・ Cleaning ethyl alcohol (80% or less)
・ Cleaning isopropyl alcohol (70% or less)
・ Sodium hypochlorite solution (0.5% or less, within 20
minutes)
