Unpacking and Inspection

Follow standard receiving practices upon receipt of the instrument. Check the shipping carton for damage. If damage is found, stop
unpacking the instrument. Notify the carrier and ask for an agent to be present while the instrument is unpacked. There are no special
unpacking instructions, but be careful not to damage the instrument when unpacking it. Inspect the instrument for physical damage such
as bent or broken parts, dents, or scratches.
Claims
Our routine method of shipment is via common carrier, FOB origin. Upon delivery, if physical damage is found, retain all packing
materials in their original condition and contact the carrier immediately to file a claim. If the instrument is delivered in good physical
condition but does not operate within specifications, or if there are any other problems not caused by shipping damage, please contact
Fluke Biomedical or your local sales representative.
Standard Terms and Conditions
Refunds and Credits
Please note that only serialized products and their accessory items (i.e., products and items bearing a distinct serial number
tag) are eligible for partial refund and/or credit. Nonserialized parts and accessory items (e.g., cables, carrying cases,
auxiliary modules, etc.) are not eligible for return or refund. Only products returned within 90 days from the date of original
purchase are eligible for refund/credit. In order to receive a partial refund/credit of a product purchase price on a serialized product, the
product must not have been damaged by the customer or by the carrier chosen by the customer to return the goods, and the product
must be returned complete (meaning with all manuals, cables, accessories, etc.) and in "as new" and resalable condition. Products not
returned within 90 days of purchase, or products which are not in "as new" and resalable condition, are not eligible for credit return and
will be returned to the customer. The Return Procedure (see below) must be followed to assure prompt refund/credit.
Restocking Charges
Products returned within 30 days of original purchase are subject to a minimum restocking fee of 15 %. Products returned in
excess of 30 days after purchase, but prior to 90 days, are subject to a minimum restocking fee of 20 %. Additional charges for
damage and/or missing parts and accessories will be applied to all returns.
Return Procedure
All items being returned (including all warranty-claim shipments) must be sent freight-prepaid to our factory location. When you return
an instrument to Fluke Biomedical, we recommend using United Parcel Service, Federal Express, or Air Parcel Post. We also
recommend that you insure your shipment for its actual replacement cost. Fluke Biomedical will not be responsible for lost shipments
or instruments that are received in damaged condition due to improper packaging or handling.
Use the original carton and packaging material for shipment. If they are not available, we recommend the following guide for
repackaging:
Use a double–walled carton of sufficient strength for the weight being shipped.
Use heavy paper or cardboard to protect all instrument surfaces. Use nonabrasive material around all projecting parts.
Use at least four inches of tightly packed, industry-approved, shock-absorbent material around the instrument.
Returns for partial refund/credit:
Every product returned for refund/credit must be accompanied by a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number, obtained from our
