Safety and Responsibility
This section describes general considerations relating to user safety
that must be taken into account when working with the device.
In the remaining sections, warning notices are used only to highlight
particular hazards directly arising from the actions being described 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 pro-
vider due to certain risks arising from particular applications for which
the device is used deliberately and with full awareness of the associ-
ated risks.
2.1
Intended Use, Incorrect Use and Misuse
Depending on its features, the device is designed to be used
as an incubation shaker for cultivating microorganisms or cell
cultures under the following conditions:
Cultivation of non-pathogenic microorganisms or cell
cultures of risk category 1 in a biotechnology labora-
tory of biological protection level 1.
Cultivation of pathogenic microorganisms or cell cul-
tures of risk category 2 in a biotechnology laboratory
of biological protection level 2.
When using the device in protection level 2, users are respon-
sible for taking appropriate protective measures to ensure
that organisms cannot escape uncontrollably due to flask
breakage, unintentional detaching of the sterile seal or simi-
lar.
WARNING
The device is designed and constructed exclusively for the intended
use described above.
Each instance of non-conventional use is considered as misuse and
may lead to dangerous situations.
