Do not perform tissue processing if an extended period of power outage is scheduled.
Tissue quality may drop.
Paraffin will solidify if the power is out for an extended period of time. Also, the tissues may be damaged
depending on when the power outage occurs. In this case, use a uninterruptible power supply. If you find
that the tissue processing had stopped during processing due to an unexpected power outage lasting for an
extended period of time, protect the tissues and immediately contact the Sakura Finetek Technical Support
representative or local representative.
Install the power cord carefully by making sure the cord will not interfere with the work.
Failure to do so may result in the operator tripping over the power cord and sustaining injury.
Securely connect the power cord and power outlet. If the power cord came off or the
power switch was turned off inadvertently, connect the power cord or turn on the
power switch without delay.
If they are loosely connected, heat may be generated at the connected part, voltage drop can occur and the
instrument may not operate normally. Furthermore, unexpected accidents or injuries can occur. Also, a
power failure may cause the temperature to drop and paraffin to solidify, leading to operational problems.
Also, the tissues may be damaged when the power is cut off during processing, depending on when the
power is cut off.
Handle the power cord with care. Also, be aware of damage caused by mice and other
small animals.
To unplug the power cord from the power outlet, do not pull the cord, but hold the plug and then pull it out.
Inspect the power cord periodically. If any damage is found in the exterior of the power cord, stop using it
and contact the Sakura Finetek Technical Support representative or local representative.
The tissues may be damaged depending on the condition in which the error (trouble)
occurred. Immediately resolve the error, protect the tissues, and contact the Sakura
Finetek Technical Support representative or local representative.
Connect an external alarm (optional) to prevent the tissues from being damaged or lost in case the
instrument experiences a problem. When introducing an external alarm, contact the Sakura Finetek
Technical Support representative or local representative.
Do not store cassettes by more than the specified number (up to 300 Uni-Cassette®
cassettes). If cassettes not manufactured by Sakura Finetek will be used, confirm
beforehand that they will not cause problems in tissue quality.
Processing more than the specified number of cassettes may damage the tissues. Doing so may also
cause the instrument to fail, so be sure to process no more than the specified number of cassettes.
When processing fewer than 150 cassettes, use only one basket level.
When two basket levels are used and there are fewer cassette at the bottom level, the retort may not be
filled enough to cover the tissues at the top level and the tissues may be damaged.
Process tissues using up to two levels in the supplied basket.
Tissues cannot be processed using three levels in the supplied basket. If a basket other than the supplied
basket is used, tissues may not be processed properly even if only two levels are used.
