WARNING: Static electricity may build up in BPCs.
• BioProcess Containers (BPCs) may act as insulators for
electrostatic charge. If electrostatic charge is transferred to a BPC,
the charge may be stored in the BPC and/or the product inside.
This phenomena varies by product and use; therefore, it is the sole
responsibility of the end user to ensure a hazard assessment is
conducted and the risk of electrostatic shock is eliminated.
• Where applicable, a product contact stainless steel coupler may be
grounded to the frame to dissipate electrostatic build up from the
material within a BPC. It is good practice to dissipate electrostatic
buildup by grounding all BPCs prior to coming in contact with them.
When working with BPCs, the use of nonconductive materials, such
as nonconductive gloves, is recommended.
WARNING: Entanglement hazard.
Rotating and moving parts can cause injury. Keep hands away from
moving parts during operation.
• Do not operate this equipment unless the supplied guarding is in
place and properly functioning.
• It is the responsibility of the end user to assess this equipment
and ensure that equipment and safeguards are in good working
condition, and that all operators are trained and aware of
entanglement hazards and associated protective devices, such as
hazard signs and guarding.
WARNING: Use caution when filling the BPC.
Ensure that the door handle is fully engaged, and that the door handle
latch-pin is installed before filling the BPC. The static head pressure on
the door can create a large opening force.
WARNING: Use ladders and elevated platforms with caution.
A few operations, such as loading a BPC into a large imPULSE S.U.M.,
may require the use of a ladder or platform. Before use, ensure the
ladder has been inspected and weight-rated for its user. When using a
ladder or platform, be sure it is stable, maintain three points of contact,
and make sure the steps are clean.
WARNING: Follow lockout/tagout procedures.
To prevent injury, when servicing equipment, use your company’s
lockout/tagout procedures to isolate electrical, mechanical, pneumatic,
hydraulic, chemical, thermal, gravitational, or any other potential energy
and protect workers from the release of hazardous energy.
