Moving parts are a general hazard posed by the device because body
parts can be pinched or scratched when one is not careful.
However there is no risk of clothing or body parts being pulled into
the device. The risk that fingers are pinched has been minimised by
means of a sufficient distance between the tray and the casing and a
stop mechanism that stops the shaker drive when the door is opened.
Nonetheless, the cultivation flasks must only be moved when the
table has come to a complete standstill.
For applications that are performed with temperatures over 55 °C,
there is a risk of burns on hot surfaces in the interior, on the tray or on
the cultivation vessels.
For applications with temperatures of above 55 °C, wear heat-
resistant protective gloves.
The use or production of dangerous – i.e. toxic or asphyxiant – gases
entails a significant health risk, especially in small rooms. To prevent
high emissions of dangerous gases, the following measures must be
taken:
The gas connections on the device must be checked before any
■
cultivation using dangerous gases are initiated.
Check the seals on the device at regular intervals and replace them
■
if necessary.
Check gas-carrying hoses for leaks at regular intervals.
■
The use or production of flammable or explosive substances does not
fall under the intended use, as the device is not explosion-proof. If the
provider intends to use the device for such applications, it is essential
to check the suitability of the device with the relevant local authori-
ties.
There is a risk of explosions when using impure process gases: you
must therefore only use process gases without impurities.
The use or production of corrosive or toxic substances entails a signifi-
cant health risk. As such, special measures must be taken to protect
personnel for such applications.
Since the device is used deliberately for such applications, it is the
responsibility of the personnel to ensure that they have sufficient pro-
tection.
