In case of devices which have been in contact in contact with biological substances
of risk level 2 contact the VACUUBRAND service absolutely before shipping the
device. These devices have to be completely disassembled and decontaminated by
the user prior to shipment.
Do not return devices which have been in contact with biological substances
of risk level 3 or 4.
These devices cannot be checked, maintained or repaired. The
devices must not returned to VACUUBRAND due to a residual risk in spite of decon-
tamination.
The same conditions apply to on-site work.
