TissueWave 2 Operator Guide
The unit should never be adjusted or repaired by anyone
except qualified microwave service personnel. The outer
case of the microwave should not be removed at any time,
except by a qualified service person.
Use caution when the vacuum chamber is in use.
The vacuum line (hose) is intended for pulling gases, not
liquids. Care should be taken to not allow liquids to be sucked
into the line.
Always release the vacuum from the chamber with the
vacuum release knob on the control panel.
Specimens must be completely covered with fluid
during all processing and staining procedures.
Processing and staining fluids will disperse the heat
generated by the microwaves in an even manner throughout
the tissue sample. This provides even processing and staining
without undue heating of artifacts.
Exposed plastic cassettes and processing racks may melt if
left uncovered with fluid.
Avoid using sponge biopsy pads as they may interfere with
the exchange of heat and reagents for the specimen sample.
Material such as metal suture staples may be processed
in the unit safely as long as they are totally submersed in
processing solution.
Never heat combustible fluids above their boiling
points.
There is a potential static discharge hazard when heating
combustibles.
