with adequate ventilation.
Hazardous Substances Precautions
Venting Toxic Gases
When analyzing toxic compounds be aware that during the normal operation of the EA some of the
sample might be vented outside the instrument through the inlet and detector exits; therefore, make
sure to vent the exhaust gases to a fume hood. Consult local Environmental and Safety Regulations for
instructions in exhausting fumes from your system.
Residual Risks
Users of Flash IRMS Elemental Analyzer must pay attention to the following residual hazards.

Hot Parts
WARNING
Before using hazardous substances (toxic, harmful, and so on), read the hazard
indications and information reported in the applicable Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS.)
Use personal protection according to the safety requirements.
WARNING
DO NOT OPEN the electrical compartment because there are no user serviceable
parts inside. Any operation inside the compartment must be carried out by authorized and trained
Thermo Fisher Scientific personnel.
WARNING
