Repair - Maintenance - Return - Calibration

Every employer (user) is held responsible for the health 

and safety of his employees. This also applies to service 

personnel performing repair, maintenance, return or cali-

bration.

The 

health and safety clearance form

 informs the con-

tractor about any possible contamination of the device and 

forms the basis for the risk assessment. 

In case of devices which have been in contact with 

biological substances of risk level 2 contact the  

VACUUBRAND service absolutely before dispatch-

ing 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 biological substances of risk level 3 or 

4. 

These devices cannot be checked, maintained or re-

paired. Also decontaminated devices must not returned to 

VACUUBRAND due to a residual risk.

The same conditions apply to on-site work.

No repair, maintenance, return or calibration is possi-

ble unless the correctly completed health and safety 

clearance form is returned. Devices sent are rejected 

if applicable. 

Send a completed copy of the 

health and 

safety clearance form

 to us in advance. The declaration 

must arrive before the equipment. Enclose a second com-

pleted copy with the product. 

Remove all components from the device that are no origi-

nal VACUUBRAND components. VACUUBRAND will not 

be responsible for lost or damaged components that are 

no original components. 

Drain  the  device  completely  of  fluids  and  residues. 

Decontaminate the device.

 Close all openings airtight 

especially if using substances hazardous to health.
