Regulatory Considerations
The XLP 6000 is a general laboratory module. Since it not a medical device, it is
not subject to FDA regulatory approval. The XLP 6000 uses only recognized
components and bears the UL Recognized Component Mark:
The use of UL Recognized components in a product or system allows UL to focus
the evaluation of the complete system on its intended end-use, and thus speeds
up the evaluation of that product or system. For more information regarding UL
certification of Tecan Systems’ syringe pumps, please visit the Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. website at http://www.ul.com/info/standard.htm. Tecan Systems’
customer file number for the recognized component is E164638.

CE
As a module designed for incorporation into larger systems that require
independent testing and certification, the XLP 6000
does not carry its own CE
mark.
