Page 5: Safety
SAFETY 560TP has been designed for use only in teaching and research applications. It is not intended for clinical or critical life-care use and should never be used for these purposes; nor for the prevention, diagnosis, curing, treatment, or alleviation of disease, injury, or handicap. -
Page 6: Unpacking The Tissue Puller System
UNPACKING THE TISSUE PULLER SYSTEM Take a few minutes to carefully inspect your new Tissue Puller System - 560TP for damage which may have occurred during handling and shipping. If you suspect any kind of damage, please contact DMT immediately and the matter will be pursued as soon as possible. -

2.5 (see Appendix 1 - Reading a millimetre micrometer). Carefully read the position of the micrometer on the 560TP and enter the value in the ‘Reset Position’ box and hit enter. The actual position of the micrometer is now entered in the MyoPULL software and it will store this position until the MyoPULL software is closed or the power of the 560TP is turned off. -
Page 10: Force Calibration
2.4 Force Calibration Before the 560TP is packed and shipped it has gone through two days of continuous testing, including a final force transducer calibration. However, DMT recommends that a force transducer calibration is performed before using the 560TP System for the first time. - Page 11 8. Enter the corresponding force (see figure 2.7) in mN of the weight placed on the force transducer. 1 gram equals 9,81mN and therefore a 5 g weight is 5x 9,81mN = 49,05mN 9. Press the ‘Set Force’ button and the 560TP force transducer has now been calibrated. 10. To complete and store the calibration press ‘Finish’.

CHAPTER 3 - THE MYOPULL MENUS The 560TP is operated via the MyoPULL software. The function of the software is to record force/displacement curves of tensile strength tests with a force between 0 – 3000 mN over a displacement distance of 0 – 50000 µm, with speeds of 1 – 150 µm/ sec. -

Page 15: Chapter 4 - Maintenance
4.1 Checking the force transducer The 560TP force transducer is a strain gauge connected to a Wheatstone bridge. The force transducer is housed in a separate, protective compartment (see figure 4.1 below). While the protective cover offers some mechanical protection for the force trans- ducers, it is still very vulnerable to applied forces exceeding 1 Newton (100 grams) or fluid running into the transducer compart- ment due to inadequate greasing of the transducer pinhole (see chapter 4.3 Maintenance). -

4.2 Force Transducer Replacement If the force transducer breaks and needs to be replaced the 560TP need to be shipped back to DMT for replacement. The ship- ping address is: Danish Myo Technology A/S Skejby Science Center Skejbyparken 152 DK-8200 Aarhus N. -
