Hygiene preparations for the sample chamber

The sample chamber surfaces and the accessories required for the work process
must be disinfected and cleaned in accordance with the hygiene guidelines set
forth for the application.

Response to failure messages

Failure messages are displayed in form of text/number combinations with a code
between ER 3 to ER 7 (see Section 6.1.4). If one of these codes is displayed,
contact the Technical Service of Thermo Fisher Scientific immediately.
To isolate the cause of the failure, the operating personnel must perform only
the following tests and measures:
• Check to see if the exhaust air opening on top of the cabinet is blocked.
• Ensure that the on-site exhaust air system is activated.
• Close doors and windows in the laboratory to prevent drafts.
• Switch off devices in the vicinity of the biological safety cabinet that cause air
turbulence or emit excessive heat.
• Open flames in the sample chamber may impair airflow conditions.
