Maintenance
After many years of use, there will be inevitably some corrosion or stress corrosion. At some points, the
combination of such damage and metal fatigue could make the rotor vulnerable to a failure.
Although a rotor may appear to be in a good condition, you should follow the rotor retirement recommendation
shown in Table 1
(see below)
.

Rotor 7
! WARNING
：●
If the rotor or an accessory is contaminated by samples that are toxic or radioactive, or
blood samples that are pathogenic or infectious, be sure to decontaminate the item
according to good laboratory procedures and methods.
If there is a possibility that the rotor or an accessory is contaminated by samples that
might impair human health (for example, samples that are toxic or radioactive, or blood
samples that are pathogenic or infectious), it is your responsibility to sterilize or
decontaminate the rotor or the accessory properly before requesting repairs from an
authorized sales/service representative. Note that we cannot repair the centrifuge,
rotor or the accessory unless sterilization or decontamination is completed.
It is your responsibility to sterilize and/or decontaminate the rotor or parts properly before
returning them to an authorized sales/service representative. In such cases, copy the
attached decontamination sheet and fill out the copied sheet, then attach it to the item
to be returned. We may ask you about the treatment for the rotor or parts if the
decontamination is checked and judged as insufficient by us. It is your responsibility to
bear the cost of sterilization or decontamination. Note that we cannot repair or inspect
the rotor or the accessory unless sterilization or decontamination is completed.
Rotor Life
! WARNING
：
Do not use rotors that have exceeded their lifetime: to do so might cause the rotor failure
and the centrifuge might be damaged.
The life expectancy of rotors depends on factors such as the speed of the rotor and
temperature.
Always check for deterioration and damage (cracks, deformation, and so on) on rotors
before using them. Do not use the rotors if you find such a problem.
