CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Service Decontamination Policy
If the centrifuge or rotor must be returned to a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility:
1. Contact your Thermo Fisher Scientific representative to obtain an Equipment Return
Decontamination Form; be prepared with the name and serial number of the centrifuge or rotor
and the repairs required.
2. Complete the Equipment Return Decontamination Form and return it to Thermo Fisher
Scientific. Upon receipt of a complete form, a Returned Material Authorization Number (RMA
Number) will be issued to you.
3. With the RMA Number clearly marked on the outside of packaging, send the items to the address
obtained from your Thermo Fisher Scientific representative.
Note United States federal regulations require that parts and instruments must be decontaminated
before being transported. Outside the United States, check local regulations.
If equipment is received at Thermo Fisher Scientific facilities without a valid RMA Number on the
outside of the shipping container and a completed Equipment Return Decontamination Form on file,
the equipment will be treated as a potential contamination hazard, and will not be serviced until
decontamination certification has been completed. The sender will be contacted for instructions
regarding disposition of the equipment in question; all disposition costs will be borne by the sender. If
contaminated equipment is received at Thermo Fisher Scientific facilities, both carrier and appropriate
authorities shall be notified.
