General Safety Summary (Continued)

 

High Voltage Risk  

 

 

This symbol indicates a risk of electric shock. Electric shocks are dangerous 
and may cause personal injury or death.

 

 

This instrument contains a high voltage power supply adjustable to 2,500 V. This 
presents a serious risk of personal injury if not used in accordance with design and/
or use specifications, if used in applications or with products for which they are not 
intended or designed, or if they are used by untrained or unqualified personnel. 

 

Please take special note of the following:

 

• 

The user must read this manual carefully before operating the instrument. 

 

• 

Removing the EZporator® Pulse Generator cover and breaking the 

Warranty 

Void if Seal Broken

” 

sticker will void the warranty.

 

• 

Power off the instrument before connecting or disconnecting any cords/cables. 

 

• 

Do not open the Cuvette Chamber or attempt to touch the electrodes while the 
electrical pulse is being applied. 

 

• 

All service must be performed by Mirus Bio authorized personnel only.

 

If there are any questions about the operation of this instrument, call Mirus Bio 
Technical Support at 888.530.0801 or +1.608.441.2852.

This symbol indicates that caution is advised. Proper set

-

up, usage and PPE 

 

when using this instrument are required.  

 

 

The Ingenio® EZporator® Electroporation System is intended for laboratory use only 
and can be used in research and development applications. These systems have 
been designed to meet the standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in-
tended for laboratory equipment applications as well as the applicable safety re-
quirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use. 
The unit itself does not generate waste, but may be used to treat samples that are 
hazardous. Please use appropriate PPE and ensure disposal in accordance with local 
regulations and practices. 

 

This product should NOT be used in the presence of a flammable atmosphere such 
as an anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
