8 CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF DEVICE
8.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Worthington Industries K SERIES Cryostorage System should be subject to a maintenance
schedule to ensure its functionality and safety of the professional user, operator or any other person.
It is the sole responsibility of the operating company to ensure that the
K SERIES
Cryostorage System is
held in a state compliant
with this instruction manual and
applicable
regulations and
standards by appropriate maintenance for the entire
duration of use
.
A proper maintenance program should be in place, taking into account the operating location
and ambient conditions, the mode and frequency of sample transfer, any wear parts, the
potential hazard in the event of a failure, the resources for the servicing and maintenance
and the availability of replacement parts.
Keep the service history log up-to-date:
Sign off in the service history log each time service and maintenance is finished to your
Cryostorage System, stating the serviced and/or replaced parts.
Appropriate measures must be taken to avert hazardous situations, if any may occur
in the course of maintenance!
In the case of special events (e.g., crash racks, topple down refrigerator, collision with other
equipment, exposure to high temperatures, significant modifications which have not been
foreseen by the manufacturer, major repairs), which have adverse effects on the safety of
the Cryostorage System, an extraordinary test for proper condition after repair shall be done.
If a defect is identified during a recurring inspection, all users involved must be informed and
the defect must be eliminated before re-use of the K SERIES Cryostorage System.
Inspection, maintenance and repair, as well as all associated tests should only be
performed by qualified persons:
These persons are qualified due to their special education and their practical experiences, in
particular with regard to the relevant legislation and standards, to recognize the potential
impact and hazards and to assess the necessary measures.
The operator may only replace the inventory storage system. All other work must be carried
out by service personnel instructed and authorized only by Worthington Industries. Details of
the inventory storage system you will find in our Sales Sheet.
Worthington Industries and the distributor of the K SERIES Cryostorage System refuse all
liability when the device
is not repaired by service centers expressly authorized by the manufacturer; or
is not used with genuine replacement parts; or
fails to comply with the recommended maintenance intervals.
