Hazards associated with removing an instrument from service
When you remove the instrument from use to repair or dispose of it, you must decontaminate all of
its vacuum areas. These are the areas in which you can expect to encounter the highest levels of
contamination:
•
Source interior
•
Waste tubing
•
Exhaust system
•
Rotary pump oil (where applicable)
Warning:
• To avoid electric shock, do not remove the mass spectrometer’s protective panels. The
components they cover are not user-serviceable.
• To avoid nonlethal electric shock when the instrument is switched on, avoid touching the
areas marked with the high voltage warning symbol. To touch those areas, first switch
the instrument off.
Warning:
To avoid personal contamination with biohazards, toxic materials, and corrosive
materials, wear chemical-resistant gloves during all phases of instrument decontamination.
Warning:
To avoid puncture injuries, handle syringes, fused silica lines, and borosilicate
tips with extreme care.
