Behavior during emergencies

Avoid biological contamination of the device. The housing of the measuring
¡
head cannot be disinfected and can only be wiped with a damp cloth. Clean, dis-
infect and dry the thermal cycler to be tested, and especially the sample block,
before inserting the measuring head.
The operator is responsible for carrying out suitable decontamination should the
¡
device itself be contaminated with dangerous substances.
Splashes, drops or larger liquid spillages should be removed using an absorbent
¡
material such as absorbent cotton, laboratory wipes or cellulose.
¡ The tubes on the measuring tree must not come into contact with substances
containing oil. The operator must ensure the absence of all substances contain-
ing oil on the surface of the block and in the wells of the thermal cycler that is
supposed to be measured.
The device is generally maintained by the customer service department of Analytik
Jena or specialist personnel trained and authorized by them.
Unauthorized maintenance can damage the device. For this reason, only the activi-
ties described in the user manual in the "Maintenance and care" chapter may be per-
formed by the operator.
¡ All maintenance and repair work on the device must only be carried out when
the device is switched off (unless specified otherwise).
¡ Only clean the exterior of the device with a slightly moistened, non-dripping
cloth. Use only water and, if required, customary surfactants.
The only suitable cleaning method for the multimeter housing is cleaning by
¡
wiping. If the cleaning agent used has a spray nozzle, spray some of the cleaning
agent onto a suitable piece of cloth before using it on the device.
¡ Do not use organic solvents or abrasives to clean the device.
¡ It is not possible to disinfect the temperature measuring system itself. Only use
the temperature measuring system in thermal cyclers that have been cleaned,
disinfected and dried beforehand!
All protective equipment must be reinstalled and checked for proper function
¡
when the maintenance or repair work is complete.
¡ Use only original spare parts, wear parts and consumables. These have been
tested and ensure safe operation.
If there is no immediate risk of injury, switch off the device and the connected system
components immediately in hazardous situations or in the event of an accident and/
or disconnect the power plugs from the power outlets.
