Safety Precautions 

Special precautions must be observed if the materials used in the CentriVap 
Concentrator are known to be hazardous, toxic, radioactive, or contaminated with 
pathogenic micro organisms.  These actions should include but are not limited to 
the following: 

 

Refer to the World Health Organization Laboratory Biosafety Manual, 
paying special attention to information about centrifuges and the handling 
of hazardous materials. 

 

Operate or vent the CentriVap Concentrator inside a suitable fume hood or 
ventilation device.  Load rotors in a ventilation device. 

 

Periodically inspect all parts of the CentriVap Concentrator including the 
lid, gasket, chamber, plumbing components and rotors.
