2 Safety and Responsibility
This section describes general considerations relating to user
safety that must be taken into account when working with the
equipment.
In the remaining sections, warning notices are used only to high-
light particular hazards directly arising from the actions being de-
scribed in the section in question.
It is essential to read the operating manual carefully – espe-
cially this section and the warning notices in the text – and to
follow the instructions therein.
This section also refers to areas that are the responsibility of the
provider due to certain risks arising from particular applications for
which the equipment is used deliberately and with full awareness
of the associated risks.
2.1 Intended Use, Incorrect Use and Misuse
The bench-top bioreactor Minifors 2 from INFORS HT is de-
signed especially for research and development and for the
cultivation of microorganisms in a biotechnology laboratory
.
The equipment is designed and constructed exclusively for the in-
tended use described above.
Intended use also includes following all the instructions in this op-
erating manual, especially those relating to:
The installation site
User qualifications
Correct operation and maintenance
The use of undamaged tubing and glass vessels
Any failure to observe the requirements specified in this manual
shall be deemed incorrect use.
Any use of the equipment outside the scope of the intended use as
described above shall be deemed misuse.
This also applies to applications for which the equipment is not de-
signed, such as the use or production of explosive gases, which is
not permitted because the equipment is not explosion-proof.
