Cultivating organisms of risk category 2
When cultivating pathogenic organisms of risk category 2, special
measures must be taken to stop the organisms from escaping. The
user is responsible for this.
When using the equipment under protection category 2, stainless
steel clamps of the correct size must be used to affix the flasks.
Due to limited resistance to disinfectants as well as the risk of unin-
tentional detaching of flasks, «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting is not
suitable for this purpose.
We further recommend using disposable plastic flasks with screw
tops and filter membranes. We recommend using sticky tape to
secure the lid against loosening unintentionally. Using glass flasks
with cotton wool or paper plugs is not sufficiently safe.
Trays with «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting
INFORMATION
For trays with «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting, special provi-
sions apply in relation to maximum permitted speeds. These
must be observed to prevent cultivation vessels from detaching.
For detailed information see chapter 4.1.1 "Tray with «Sticky
Stuff» Adhesive Matting", page 28.
2.3 Qualified Personnel
Due to the complexity of the equipment and the potential risks aris-
ing from its operation, the equipment may only be used by quali-
fied, specialist personnel.
2.3.1 Provider
The term “provider” applies to all persons who are responsible for
making the equipment and the necessary infrastructure available.
These persons may also be included in the group of people known
as “users”, though this is not always the case.
Irrespective of whether a provider is a member of the company’s
board of management or a supervisor, they bear a special level of
responsibility with regard to the processes and the qualification and
safety of the users.
