Instrument Disposal (Waste Electrical And Electronic Equipment) - AB Sciex 4500 Series System User's Manual

WARNING! Asphyxiation Hazard: The use of instruments without adequate
ventilation to outside air may constitute a health hazard. In addition, certain
procedures required during the operation of the instrument may cause gases to
be discharged into the exhaust stream; under these conditions, inadequate
ventilation may result in serious injury. Take extreme care to vent exhaust gases
properly.
WARNING! Toxic Chemical Hazard: Make sure the mass spectrometer system is
connected to the local exhaust system and ducted to control hazardous
emissions. The mass spectrometer system should only be used in a well-
ventilated laboratory environment in compliance with local regulations and with
appropriate air exchange for the work performed.
Note: In the USA, OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910-1450 requires 4 to12 air changes per hour
in laboratories.
WARNING! Biohazard: This instrument or any part is not intended to act as a
biological containment safety cabinet. For biohazardous material use, always
apply local regulations for hazard assessment, control, and handling.
