Intended use

This device is a medical product (laboratory centrifuge) according to the in vitro diagnostic medical devices regulation
(EU) 2017/746.
The centrifuge was designed only for the separation of substances or mixtures with a density of no more than 1.2
kg/dm³, particularly of samples for preparation for human medical in-vitro diagnostics.
This especially includes the determination of potassium in blood serum. The running behaviour allows for gentle
separation, thereby preventing the accumulation of additional erythrocytic potassium in the serum. This prevents the
test results from being falsified.
The centrifuge is only meant for this purpose.
Another use or one which goes beyond this, is considered to be non-intended. The company Andreas Hettich GmbH
& Co. KG is not liable for damage resulting from this.
Observing all information in the operating instructions and complying with the measures described therein is also a
part of the intended use.
If the centrifuge is installed in another device or in a system, the manufacturer of the overall system is responsible for
its safety.
