TissueWave 2 Operator Guide
Paraffin should be properly heated to the processing
temperature before placing the paraffin into the Shandon
TissueWave.
Never attempt to disengage the vacuum unit by
disconnecting the tubing or lid.
This will cause a backup of fluid into the tubing and possibly
the vacuum pump.
Always disengage the vacuum by releasing the vacuum knob
located on the control panel.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the protection offered by the
equipment may be impaired.
The Shandon TissueWave 2 as supplied, complies with EN 61010-1:2001.
However, chemicals introduce potential hazards and Thermo
has adopted the following position with regard to the subject
of heated surfaces and volatile chemicals used in medical
laboratories:
i
Non-specified chemicals are used in the instrument at the
customer’s own risk.
ii All the chemicals recommended by Thermo have auto-ignition
temperatures considerably above any surface temperature
that can be reached during a single fault failure of the heating
system on the instrument.
iii The instrument contains no source of ignition in any areas of
the instrument where chemicals are stored or likely to leak in a
single fault condition.
