7.2.6 Preparing the Sampling System Super Safe Sampler
WARNING!
Danger of health risk when working with patho-
genic organisms!
Mechanical failure of the automatic valves may
cause leakage of culture from the sampling system.
This contains a severe health risk if working with
pathogenic organisms!
Therefore:
– Always clamp off the sampling tube with a
strong hose clamp (not included in the kit!) for
additional safety when working with pathogenic
organisms.
– Only remove the clamp when sampling.
– Ensure the clamp is securely fitted before re-
moving the syringe from the sample valve.
CAUTION!
Risk of contamination due to leakages from the
sampling system!
Loose screw connections between the component
parts of the sampling system can lead to non-ster-
ile air penetrating the system or a possible contam-
ination of the laboratory with culture
Therefore:
– Before and after the sterilisation in the auto-
clave: Always check and, if necessary, adjust all
screw connections of the sampling system for
tightness.
CAUTION!
Danger of loss of property due to sterilisation
above limited temperature!
Sterilisation temperatures above 121 °C can lead
to damage of components of the sampling system.
Therefore:
– Sterilise at max. 121 °C
– Ensure that components of the sampling system
do not get in contact with the walls of the auto-
clave.
