INSTRUCTIONS

When an instrument that has been used with radioactive, patho-

genic, or otherwise hazardous materials requires servicing by

Thermo Fisher Scientific personnel either at the customer’s labo-

ratory or at Thermo Fisher Scientific facilities, the following proce-

dure 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 com-

pleted and attached to the instrument or part.

If an instrument or part to be serviced does not have a Decontam-

ination 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 opin-

ion, poses a radioactive or biological hazard, the sender will be

contacted for instructions as to disposition of the equipment. Dis-

position 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 cer-

tifying that the instrument or part has been properly decontaminat-

ed and outlining the procedures used will be acceptable.

NOTE

: Thermo Fisher Scientific Service representatives will

indicate on a Customer Service Repair Report if
decontamination was required, and if so, what the con-
taminate was and what procedure was used. If no
decontamination was required, it should be so stated.
