➨
Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan-
gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting
fluids, vapors and gases. In such cases, install an ap-
propriate collecting and disposal system and take pro-
tective action for pump and environment.
➨
If the equipment is used in combination with hazardous
materials (e. g., in medical-microbiological laborato-
ries) check all relevant safety and health requirements
and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use if necessary.
➨
Use appropriate safety work materials and methods if
necessary, e. g., steam sterilization, sterilization indica-
tors or germicides. For notes concerning the steriliza-
tion of wetted parts, see the “Technical Data” section
and “Cleaning and decontaminating”. It is the user´s
responsibility to ensure effective sterilization.
➨
Never operate a defective or damaged device.
➨
The user must take suitable precautions to prevent any
formation of explosive mixtures in the expansion cham-
ber or in the housing. In case of a diaphragm crack, for
example, mechanically generated sparks, hot surfaces
or static electricity may ignite these mixtures. Use inert
gas for venting if necessary.
➨
Potentially explosive mixtures at the outlet of the pump
have to be drained appropriately evacuated, or diluted
with inert gas to non-explosive mixtures.
+
Check the collection bottle regularly for cracks. Do nev-
er use a collection bottle with cracks nor expose it to
vacuum.
+
Use the system only in combination with the integrated
hydrophobic filter (sterilizable) to protect pump and en-
vironment (people).
