Warnings, safety, and warranty information
WARNING: Static electricity may build up in BPCs.
• BioProcess Containers (BPCs) may act as insulators for
electrostatic charge. If electrostatic charge is transferred to a BPC,
the charge may be stored in the BPC and/or the product inside.
This phenomena varies by product and use; therefore, it is the sole
responsibility of the end user to ensure a hazard assessment is
conducted and the risk of electrostatic shock is eliminated.
• Where applicable, a product contact stainless steel coupler may be
grounded to the frame to dissipate electrostatic build up from the
material within a BPC. It is good practice to dissipate electrostatic
buildup by grounding all BPCs prior to coming in contact with them.
When working with BPCs, the use of nonconductive materials, such
as nonconductive gloves, is recommended.
WARNING: Rotating parts—entanglement hazard.
Rotating and moving parts can cause injury. Keep hands away from
moving parts during operation.
• Do not operate this equipment unless the supplied guarding is in
place and properly functioning.
• It is the responsibility of the end user to assess this equipment
and ensure that equipment and safeguards are in good working
condition, and that all operators are trained and aware of
entanglement hazards and associated protective devices, such as
hazard signs and guarding.
WARNING: Use caution with hazardous chemicals or materials.
Personnel servicing equipment need to know the hazards of any
chemicals or materials that may be present on or in the equipment.
Use general hazard communication techniques such as Safety Data
Sheets, labels, and pictograms to communicate any hazards.
WARNING: Burst hazard—air under pressure.
The BPC chamber is under slight pressure under normal operating
conditions. Normal passive venting prevents any excess of pressure
building up within the chamber. Chamber pressure and inlet line
pressure should be monitored for proper settings.
• Contents under pressure
• Do not exceed 0.03 bar (0.5 psi) BPC pressure
• Do not exceed 0.345 bar (5 psi) inlet pressure
• Ensure vent filter is properly positioned and working properly
