The need to decontaminate other vacuum areas of the instrument depends on the kinds of
samples the instrument analyzed and their levels of concentration. Do not dispose of the
instrument or return it to Waters for repair until the authority responsible for approving its removal
from the premises specifies the extent of decontamination required and the level of residual
contamination permissible. That authority must also prescribe the method of decontamination to
be used and the appropriate protection for personnel undertaking the decontamination process.
You must handle items such as syringes, fused silica lines, and borosilicate tips used to carry
sample into the source area in accordance with laboratory procedures for contaminated vessels
and sharps. To avoid contamination by carcinogens, toxic substances, or biohazards, you must
wear chemical-resistant gloves when handling or disposing of used oil.
Bottle placement prohibition
