Care and Maintenance SORVALL ® Centrifuges

If a centrifuge or rotor to be serviced does not have a Decontamina-
tion Information Certificate attached and, in
Thermo
's opinion
presents a potential radioactive or biological hazard, the
Thermo
representative will not service the equipment until proper decon-
tamination and certification is complete.
If the centrifuge or rotor must be returned to a
Thermo
facility:
1. Contact your
Thermo
representative to obtain an Equipment
Return Decontamination Form; be prepared with the name and
serial number of the centrifuge or rotor and the repairs required.
2. Complete the Equipment Return Decontamination Form and
return it to
Thermo
. Upon receipt of a completed form, a Re-
turned Material Authorization Number (RMA Number) will be
issued to you.
3. With the RMA Number clearly marked on the outside of pack-
aging, send the items to the address obtained from your
Thermo
representative.
NOTE
United States federal regulations require that parts and
instruments
must be decontaminated before being trans-
ported. Outside the United States, check local regulations.
If equipment is received at
Thermo
facilities without a valid RMA
Number on the outside of the shipping container and a completed
Equipment Return Decontamination Form on file, the equipment
will be treated as a potential contamination hazard, and will not be
serviced until decontamination certification has been completed.
The sender will be contacted for instructions regarding disposition
of the equipment in question; all disposition costs will be borne by
the sender. If contaminated equipment is received at
Thermo
facili-
ties, both the carrier and appropriate authorities shall be notified.
C A U T I O N
Do not ship or transport a
centrifuge with a rotor installed on
the drive spindle. If a centrifuge
chamber door cannot be opened
using conventional methods, refer to
the Emergency Sample Recovery
(mechanical override) instructions that
are provided in your centrifuge
operating manual.
