Dear Customer,
any product that is to be returned to Leica Biosystems or serviced on site, must be cleaned and decon-
taminated in the appropriate manner. Since it is not possible to decontaminate for prion diseases, such
as CJD, BSE, CWD etc., equipment exposed to specimens containing prion diseases cannot be returned
to Leica Biosystems for repair. On-site repair of prion contaminated equipment will only be conducted
after the Field Service Engineer has been educated in the risks, instructed in the policies and procedures
of the institution and provided with personal protective equipment. This certificate, duly completed, must
be placed in the instrument, attached to the outside of the shipping crate or handed directly to the
service engineer.
Packages will not be opend nor servicing commenced until the Company or service engineer have received
a satisfactory certificate. Should returned goods be considered a hazard by the Company, they will be returned
immediately to the customer at his/her expense. NB: Microtome knives must be in boxes.
