Ventilation Precautions
The venting of fumes and disposal of waste must comply with all of the federal, state, provincial,
and local health and safety regulations. It is the responsibility of the customer to make sure that
the air quality is maintained in compliance with local health and safety regulations.
The source exhaust system and roughing pump must be vented to a dedicated laboratory fume
hood or an external exhaust system.
WARNING! Fire Hazard. Make sure that the source exhaust system is connected
and functioning, to prevent flammable vapor from accumulating in the ion source.
WARNING! Ionizing Radiation Hazard, Biohazard, or Toxic Chemical
Hazard. Take care to vent exhaust gases to a dedicated laboratory fume
hood or exhaust system and make sure that the ventilation tubing is
secured with clamps. Make sure that the laboratory has appropriate air
exchange for the work performed.
WARNING! Ionizing Radiation Hazard, Biohazard, or Toxic Chemical Hazard.
Do not operate the mass spectrometer if the source exhaust drain and
roughing pump exhaust hoses are not properly connected to the laboratory
ventilation system. Examine the exhaust tubing regularly to make sure that
there are no leaks. The use of mass spectrometers without proper system
ventilation might constitute a health hazard and might result in serious
injury.
WARNING! Ionizing Radiation Hazard, Biohazard, or Toxic Chemical
Hazard. Do not use the ion source without knowledge of and training
in the proper use, containment, and evacuation of toxic or injurious
materials used with the ion source.
WARNING! Puncture Hazard, Ionizing Radiation Hazard, Biohazard, or
Toxic Chemical Hazard. Discontinue use of the ion source if the ion
source window is cracked or broken, and then contact a SCIEX Field
Service Employee (FSE). Any toxic or injurious materials introduced in
the equipment will be present in the source exhaust output. Exhaust from
equipment should be vented from the room. Dispose of sharps following
established laboratory safety procedures.
