Basic safety instructions 5
2.4.2 Contamination by health-threatening solvents
Contamination with toxic, infectious or radioactive substances poses
a hazard for all persons involved during operation, repair, sale, and dis-
posal of a device.
All contaminated devices must be properly decontaminated by a spe-
cialist company or the operating company before they can be recom-
missioned, repaired, sold, or disposed .
2.4.3 Avoiding leakage
Risk of electrical shock or short circuit if solvents or other liquids leak into
the interior of the device. You can avoid a leakage through the following
measures:
Tightness: Visually check the device or system regularly for leaks.
Solvent tray: The use of a solvent tray prevents liquids get from the
bottles into the inside of the device.
Eluent lines: Install capillaries and hoses in such a way that, in case of a
leak, liquids cannot get into the interior of the devices underneath.
In case of leakage: Switch off the system. Only take the device into
operation if the cause of the leak has been resolved.
2.5 Specific environments
