General information 

 

 

1.1 

Importance of the operating manual 

A fundamental requirement for the safe and trouble-free operation of the 
centrifuge is to be familiar with the fundamental safety instructions and all 
possible hazards. 

The operating manual includes important information concerning the safe 
operation of the centrifuge. 

This operating manual and, in particular, the notes on safety and hazards 
must be observed by all persons operating the centrifuge. 

In addition, the local rules and regulations for the prevention of accidents 
must be complied with. 

 

 

 

1.2 

Intended use 

The laboratory centrifuge is suitable for the separation of constituents of 
different densities in mixtures with a maximum density of 1.2 g/cm

3

The laboratory centrifuge that is marked with IVD is intended for human 
biological samples, including donated blood and tissue, in conjunction with 
diagnostic in-vitro applications. This means that it is a medical product in 
accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostica. 

Only trained, specialised personnel are authorised to use the centrifuge in 
closed laboratories. 

The intended use also includes: 
•  observation of all of the notes and instructions that are included in the 

operating manual and 

•  compliance with the inspection and maintenance instructions. 
 

Sigma Laborzentrifugen GmbH cannot be held liable for: 

•  damage resulting from the improper use of the centrifuge not in line with 

its intended purpose, 

•  faulty results that are due to the incorrect or faulty procedures of the 

user. 

 

 

 

 

1.3 

Warranty and liability 

The warranty and liability are subject to our "General Conditions" that were 
distributed to the operator upon the conclusion of the contract. 

Warranty and liability claims are excluded if they are due to: 
•  improper use. 
•  non-compliance with the safety instructions and hazard warnings in the 

operating manual. 

•  improper installation, start-up, operation, or maintenance of the 

centrifuge.
