1 - INTRODUCTION
The SWIFTPET PRO pipette controller is a medical device intended for professional use,
in vitro diagnostics, and testing samples collected from the human body.
The pipette controller is a device intended for pipetting liquids with the use of measuring
pipettes. It can work with all types of glass or plastic pipettes in the volume range from 0.5 ml
to 100 ml.
Two dispense modes permit selection of dispensing intensity depending on the user's
needs. The selected setting of the pipette controller mode is shown on the display (fig. 1E)
Fig. 1 shows the external parts of the pipette controller with a description of the materials used.
Display indicators are shown in fig. 2.
2 - WORK SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3 - LIMITATIONS OF USE
• The SWIFTPET PRO may not be used for measuring substances, the vapours of which
damage the following plastics: PP, SI, EPDM, POM.
• The pipette controller may not be used in an environment where explosion risk is present.
• Flammable liquids shall not be measured - in particular substances with flash-point below
0 °C (ether, acetone).
•
The pipette controller shall not be used for drawing acids with a concentration above 1 mol.
• The pipette controller shall not be used for drawing solutions with a temperature above 50 °C.
• The pipette controller may work in temperature range from +10 °C to +35 °C.
4 - SWITCHING ON
The SWIFTPET PRO pipette controller is switched on by pressing any of the buttons (fig. 1A,
B, C, D). The display will show the selected aspiration mode,
dispense mode and the batter-
ies level indicator. Examples of the display indications are shown in (fig. 5). The batteries
are discharged and require charging if the indicator does not display "bars" (fig. 5.4). When
the batteries are fully charged, the indicator displays three „bars” (fig. 5.1)
.
• The pipette controller switches off automatically if not used for 5 minutes.
• The pipette controller may be charged only with the original charger.
• The mains voltage shall conform with the specification on the charger.
• Charging shall be done in accordance with section 8 of the instruction manual.
5 - ASPIRATING AND DISPENSING LIQUIDS
Attaching a pipette
CAUTION: Before attaching a pipette check whether the pipette is not damaged, has no
dents or sharp edges in the gripping part. Check whether the gripping part is dry.
The pipette shall be gripped as close to the upper end as possible and carefully inserted
into the pipette holder until resistance is noticed (fig. 3A).
WARNING!
Do not apply excessive force so as not to damage thin pipettes and avoid risk of injury.
A pipette that has been correctly attached and sealed in the holder should not tilt to the sides.
After attaching a pipette hold the device in such a way as to keep the pipettor in vertical
position. It is not recommended to leave the device with a pipette attached for a longer
period,
for example overnight or over a weekend.
CAUTION: Do not put aside the pipette controller if there is liquid in the pipette.

Filling the pipette
Before aspirating is started, set the speed by pressing the SPEED switch (fig. 1C) until the dis-
play shows the right speed (fig. 1E).
• HIGH speed - fast aspirating (fig. 2.1),
• LOW speed - slow aspirating (fig. 2.2).
It is recommended set the LOW speed when working with pipettes of volume up to 5 ml,
and the HIGH speed for pipettes of volume greater than 5 ml. Holding the pipette controller
in such a way that the pipette is in vertical position immerse the pipette end in the liquid
to
be drawn up (fig. 3B), and press the aspiration button gently. The speed depends
on how
deep the aspirating button has been pressed. The deeper the button is pressed the faster
the liquid is aspirated into the pipette.
It is recommended to draw a slightly greater liquid volume than required (due to meniscus
above the required volume mark), adjusting the aspiration speed , so as not to overfill the
pipette.
Setting the volume
After the pipette is filled, dry the outside surface with
absorbent paper that does not leave
impurities. Then set the required liquid volume precisely. Pressing the dispense button gently
(fig. 3C), dispense
the excessive liquid from the pipette until the meniscus of the liquid
aligns exactly with the required volume mark on the pipette.
Emptying the pipette
Holding the vessel in inclined position, place the pipette end in contact with the vessel wall
and press the dispense button gently (fig. 3C). The dispensing intensity may be adjusted
depending on how deep the dispense button has been pressed. The deeper the button
is pressed the faster the outflow of liquid from the pipette.
The
SWIFTPET PRO has two dispense modes. The dispense mode is selected by succes-
sive pressing the MODE switch (fig. 1D) until the display shows the right mode (fig. 1E).
• gravity mode marked with the icon on the display (fig. 2.4) - dispensing is effected in
gravity mode, which means that the liquid flows out of the pipette by its own weight.
•
blow out mode marked with the icon on the display (fig. 2.5) – dispensing is effected in
gravity mode, however, when the dispense button is pressed to the middle position, the
pump is started and fast emptying of the pipette with a blow out is effected.
CAUTION:
During gravimetrical dispensing the pipette is not completely emptied due to the characte-
ristics of pipettes used with the pipette controller.

6 - TROUBLESHOOTING
If during your work the functioning of the pipette controller is incorrect, check the cause
and remove the fault.
If the above actions do not help, the device shall be sent to HTL service.
Before that the product should be cleaned and decontaminated. Fill in the questionnaire
available at www.htl.com.pl with precise specification of solutions used and the type
of laboratory, in which the device has been used, and send it together with the product.
7 - REPLACING THE FILTER

• Unscrew the nosepiece (fig. 4A).
• Remove the membrane filter (fig. 4A) and the pipette holder (fig. 4B).
• Rinse the holder using a wash bottle (fig. 4C).
• Blow liquid out of the holder and leave it until it is completely dry.
• Install new membrane filter (fig. 4D) and assemble the device in reverse order.
8 - CHARGING THE BATTERIES
CAUTION!
The
SWIFTPET PRO may be charged only with the original charger. The mains voltage must
conform with the specification on the charger.
Using other chargers than the original one may damage the battery.
The pipette controller is delivered with 3 NiMH type AAA batteries.
The batteries can be replaced easily if necessary after the battery cover is taken off (fig. 1K).
The manner in which the batteries are arranged is shown in fig. 8.
Charging:
1. Charging temperature: 10 °C to 35 °C.
2.
Charging the battery is carried out through a charger (power supply) by direct connection
to the mains, or indirectly by means of a charging stand (fig. 1M). Batteries charging is indi-
cated by successive lighting of “bars”.
3. Full charging time: 7-8 hours.
4.
The batteries are charged when all 3 “ bars ” are displayed simultaneously (fig. 5.1).
When the batteries are charged, the charging circuit disconnects automatically.
The service life of the batteries: approx. 1000 charging cycles, if used correctly.
It is not possible to overcharge the batteries if all instructions of the manufacturer are followed.
WARNING!
If disposable batteries are used, it is unacceptable to connect the device to the charger.
In order to prolong the life span of the rechargeable batteries, the following rules should be
followed:
1.
Before the pipette controller is activated for the first time, the batteries should be charged.
2. Avoid short charging cycles – disconnect the stand from power supply during work
when charging is not needed.
3. If the pipette controller starts to indicate low battery level during work, connect it to the
power supply to continue working.
4. Do not leave the pipette controller discharged for a long period of time.
5. In case of a planned longer break in the work of the device, it is recommended to take
the batteries out from the battery compartment.

Cleaning
The
SWIFTPET PRO does not require any maintenance. Its external parts may be cleaned
with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
The nosepiece and the pipette holder may be autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 mi nutes. After auto-
claving, dry the pipette holder. The filter included in the set may be sterilised by autoclaving
at 121°C for not more than 15 minutes.
Storage
The SWIFTPET PRO shall be stored in a dry place. The allowable storage temperature: -20 °C
to +50 °C.
During breaks in the work the pipette controller shall be placed on a charging stand in hori-
zontal position (fig. 7A) or in vertical position (fig. 7B). The charging stand may be fitted on
a wall (fig. 7B) with a fixing set included with the pipette controller. If the pipette controller is
stored on a charging stand (fig. 7A or fig. 7B), the charging stand should be disconnected
from the power supply.
CAUTION:
Do not store the pipette controller with a filled pipette.
The pipette controller is UV resistant which was confirmed by our tests. The recommended
distance from the radiation source to exposed element should be not less than 50 cm.
