Dear Customer,
Any product that is to be returned to Leica Biosystems or serviced on site must be cleaned and de-
contaminated 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. Prion-contaminated instruments will only be repaired after the
service technician has been made aware of the potential risks, informed about the applicable direc-
tives and procedures for the respective institution, and provided with personal protective equipment.
Please complete this certificate carefully and place a copy with the instrument, attach it to the outside
of the transport case or hand it directly to the service engineer. If packages are returned, they will not
be opened or have maintenance measures begun until the Company or service technician has received
confirmation of decontamination. Should returned goods be considered a hazard by the Company, they
will be returned immediately to the customer at his/her expense. Note: Microtome knives must be packed
in the corresponding box.
