1.4 Operating Environment
The Power Source will perform effectively when used in a typical biopharmaceutical
manufacturing environment. Variations in tubing type and size, processing media, actual
environmental conditions of the facility and/or the level of contamination and/or moisture
on the ground and RF jaws and/or tubing exterior may affect actual performance. Users
are advised that when temperature and humidity conditions seem less than what might be
considered comfortable for humans, it is best to slow the rate of repetitive sealing, to be
certain the sealing head and tubing are clean and dry, and to frequently check the quality
of seal being produced.
The Power Source and Sealing Head should be stored between 10.0

and 122

F (-12 to
50

c). To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that the Sealer be acclimated
to the ambient environmental operating temperature for approximately one hour prior to
use.
1.5 Tubing Specifications
Table 1.2 illustrates typical tubing sizes found in the biopharmaceutical industry. The
table also represents those tubing sizes validated at Vante. It is not intended to absolutely
define operating performance characteristics. Allowances are made for dimensions and
tolerances that fall outside of these typical tubing sizes. Users may verify sealer function
and performance on tubing sizes not included here.
