LOW TEMPERATURES
Parts of this instrument may attain temperatures as low as minus 50ºC. It is important to avoid
allowing bare skin to touch such cold surfaces - when in doubt, wear gloves. Avoid touching the
knife - it is cold as well as sharp! Always use knife guards.
ACCESSORIES
Fluids supplied as accessories with Bright instruments, such as Cryospray 134, Cryo-M-Bed
and microtome oil, are strictly for laboratory use only. They should not be taken by mouth and
precautions afforded to other laboratory chemicals should be adhered to. Please refer to the
material safety data information, towards the back of this instruction manual, for further details.
Care must be taken when using Cryospray 134. The risk of creating an aerosol of potentially
infectious tissue particles must be borne in mind.
PRODUCT SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
All Bright Instrument Co Ltd personnel are encouraged to make suggestions regarding product
safety. We also welcome such suggestions from our customers. They may be submitted by
completing the appropriate (Safety) section of the Quality Survey Record Form supplied with all
Bright instruments, or alternatively by letter, telephone, fax or email. All communications should
be directed to our Quality Assurance Department and will be acknowledged.
DECONTAMINATION CERTIFICATES
IMPORTANT
If the instrument or any part of it is to be returned to Bright Instrument Co Ltd, please note the
following:
1 If the instrument or any part of it has been exposed to or been in contact with potential
pathogenic or radioactive material, it is essential that it be decontaminated.
2 A code of practice for decontamination has been prepared by the Health Services Advisory
Committee and endorsed by the Health and Safety Commission, see section 4.8. For the
avoidance of doubt, we require that all instruments or parts returned to us should be
accompanied by a completed decontamination certificate. A copy of this can be found
towards the back of this instruction manual and we suggest you use a photocopy of this.
Alternatively we would be pleased to either post or fax you another copy should you require.
3 Decontamination certification should be faxed to Bright Instrument Co Ltd prior to the unit
being received, or can be attached externally to the carton. Should no decontamination
certificate be received, or the instrument or any part of it be received in a condition that
Bright Instrument Co Ltd consider to be a potential biological hazard, the instrument or part
will be returned, unrepaired, at the expense of the customer.
4 Customs declarati
ons must indicate that the package contains ‘British Returned Goods’.
Failure to do so will involve customs duty payable by us, which will be invoiced to the sender.
WARNING
Before proceeding to Operating Instructions, ensure you are familiar with the contents of the
