Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment
The FlowSorb III instrument and its accessories should be visually inspected as
soon as unpacked to ensure that all items have been received and none has sus-
tained physical damage.
When you unpack the shipping cartons, carefully compare the packing list with
the equipment actually received, while checking for equipment damaged during
shipment. Be sure to sift through all packing materials before declaring equip-
ment missing.
It is very important to save the shipping cartons when equipment is to be
declared as damaged or lost. The inspector (or claim investigator) must exam-
ine the cartons prior to completion of the inspection report.

Equipment Damage or Loss During Shipment

When equipment is damaged or lost in transit, you are required to make note of
the damage or loss on the freight bill. The carrier, not the shipper, is responsible
for all damage or loss. In the event of equipment damage or loss during ship-
ment, contact the carrier of the equipment immediately.

Equipment Return

Micromeritics strives to ensure that all items arrive safely and in working order.
Occasionally, due to circumstances beyond our control, equipment is received
which is not in working condition. When it is necessary to return equipment
(damaged either during shipment or while in use) to Micromeritics for repair or
replacement, the following procedure should be followed:
1. Pack the instrument in its original shipping carton if possible. If the original
carton is unavailable, for a nominal fee Micromeritics can provide another
carton for your use.
