Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is highly corrosive, hygroscopic and, in solution, ex-
tremely aggressive. Avoid dripping and spilling of reduction agent.
Biological samples must be handled according to local guidelines regarding the
handling of infectious material.
When measuring material containing cyanide you have to make sure that prussic
acid cannot be generated in the waste bottle, i.e. the waste solution must not be
acidic.
Ensure that all residue liquid from the nebulizer and the automatic sampler is di-
rected into the waste bottle supplied.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that waste materials such as drained cool-
ant and residue liquid from the waste bottle are disposed of in an environmentally
responsible manner and according to local regulations.

2.5.6
Decontamination in case of biological contamination
Observe the following notes:
The operator is responsible for carrying out suitable decontamination should the
device be contaminated externally or internally with dangerous substances.
Spots, drops or larger spillages should be removed and cleaned using an absorbent
material such as cotton wool, laboratory wipes or cellulose.
Wipe the affected area with a suitable disinfectant such as Incidin Plus solution.
Then, wipe the cleaned areas dry.
Before using a cleaning or decontamination procedure other than that prescribed
by the manufacturer, the user is required to check with the manufacturer that the
intended procedure will not damage the device. Safety labels attached to the
ZEEnit 700 Q must not be moistened with methanol.
2.5.7
Behavior during emergencies
Observe the following notes:
If there is no immediate risk of injury, in hazardous situations or in case of acci-
dents, immediately switch off the ZEEnit 700 Q using the mains contactor on the
right side wall of the device. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
Make sure that the mains plug is readily accessible.
