Stop the use of the rotor immediately when it is used beyond the number of
times allowed for autoclaving. Otherwise, the rotor may deteriorate by the heat
generated by autoclaving, resulting in deformation or destruction.
Should the rotor get damaged, the main unit of the centrifuge suddenly may
start to rotate; this could result in an accident causing injury or death.
WARNING
Ⅴ
Number of times allowed for autoclaving of rotor
The number of times allowed for autoclaving of each rotor should be deemed as follows.
When the following conditions has been met, discontinue operation of the centrifuge to
replace the rotor with a new part.
Earlier replacement, however, is required if any corrosion, lowered strength, flaw or deform
due to wrong operation is detected on the rotor. In such case, contact your local dealer and
be sure to have the rotor checked before reusing it.
