11. Decontamination Certificate (master)
Dear Customer,
any product that is to be returned to Leica Biosystems or serviced on site, must be cleaned and decontaminated
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.
