Safety Guidelines for Maintenance
When performing maintenance on the iCAP Q system, please pay
attention to the following general safety guidelines.
WARNING
!
Toxic Gases.
Danger of intoxication. Toxic gases are released that
might lead to severe bodily harm when the plasma exhaust is not
connected to an exhaust system or the spray chamber is disassembled.
Do not disassemble the spray chamber when the plasma is still on.
WARNING
!
Electric Current.
Danger of electric shock. High voltages capable of
causing personal injury are used in the instrument. Do not remove
protective covers from PCBs. Opening the instrument housing is only
allowed for maintenance purposes by Thermo Fisher Scientific
personnel. To ensure that the instrument is free from all electric
current, always disconnect the power cords of mass spectrometer and
fore vacuum pump before attempting any type of maintenance.
CAUTION
!
Corrosive Acids.
When handling the corrosive acids required to
perform the cleaning procedures described below, take the following
precautions.
•
Wear protective clothing.
•
Use acid resistant laboratory gloves and glasses.
•
Make yourself aware of all safety procedures in case of spillage or
exposure to skin or eyes before commencing the cleaning.
The acid cleaning should take place in a fume hood.
CAUTION
!
Hot Surface.
Danger of burns. The fore vacuum pump in function is
hot and some surfaces could reach a temperature higher than 80 °C
(176 °F). Take note of the warning labels on the pump.
CAUTION
!
UV Radiation.
Danger of severe bodily harm. UV radiation is released
when the spray chamber is disassembled. UV radiation might lead to
severe eye injury or blindness. Do not disassemble the spray chamber
when the plasma is still on. Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm when
looking into the plasma. Do not operate the system when the plasma
door is damaged. A damaged window must be replaced by the Thermo
Fisher Scientific field service engineer.
CAUTION
!
Hot Surface.
Danger of burns. Pump in function is hot and some
surfaces could reach a temperature higher than 80 °C (176 °F). Also be
careful when handling hot pump oil. Take note of warning labels on
the pump.
