5 Operation
This chapter describes how the Te-VacS is installed and gives instructions on initial
operation.
5.1 Process Validation
For all applications of the Tecan instrument, the user must ensure that the
requirements of each protocol are carefully observed.
A systematic approach of risk analysis, validation of critical parameters and system
validation should be followed to ensure that the system or combination with kit
provides reliable and reproducible performance.
Ensure that the validation process is executed according to national laws and
standards.
