INSTRUCTIONS
When an instrument that has been used with radioactive, patho-
genic, or otherwise hazardous materials requires servicing by
Therm o
personnel either at the customer's laboratory or at Thermo facilities,
the following procedure must be complied with to insure safety of
our personnel:
1. The instrument or part to be serviced shall be cleaned of all
blood and other encrusted material and decontaminated
prior to servicing by our representative. No radioactivity shall
be detectable by survey equipment.
2. A Decontamination Information Certificate shall be completed
and attached to the instrument or part.
If an instrument or part to be serviced does not have a Decontami-
nation Information Certificate attached to it, and, in our opinion,
presents a potential radioactive or biological hazard, our represen-
tative will not service the equipment until proper decontamination
and certification has been completed. If an instrument is received at
our Service facilities and, in our opinion, poses a radioactive or
biological hazard, the sender will be contacted for instructions as to
disposition of the equipment. Disposition costs will be borne by the
sender.
Decontamination Information Certificates are included with these
Operation Instructions. Additional certificates are available from
your local technical or customer service representative. In the
event these certificates are not available, a written statement certi-
fying that the instrument or part has been properly decontaminated
and outlining the procedures used will be acceptable.
NOTE
Thermo Service representatives will indicate on a
Customer Service Repair Report if decontamination
was required, and if so, what the contaminate was
and what procedure was used. If no decontamination
was required, it should be so stated.
