PIPETBOY pro - Operating instructions V11 Introduction
6 INTEGRA Biosciences AG
1 Introduction
1.1 Intended use
PIPETBOY pro is a pipette controller designed for aspirating and dispensing aqueous
solutions with plastic or glass pipettes of 1 to 100 ml volumes. It is intended for
measurement, control and laboratory use. Any use of this instrument in a medical or IVD
setting is the sole responsibility of the user.
1.2 Safety notes
1) Do not use or charge PIPETBOY pro in an atmosphere with danger of explosion. Also,
do not pipette highly flammable liquids such as acetone or ether.
2) When handling dangerous substances, comply with the material safety data sheet
(MSDS) and with all safety guidelines such as the use of protective clothing and safety
goggles. Never point a pipette in anyone’s direction.
3) Avoid pipetting of liquids whose vapours could attack the materials PA (polyamide),
POM (polyoxymethylene), FPM (fluor-rubber), NBR (nitrile-rubber), CR (chloroprene),
silicone. Corrosive vapours could also damage metallic parts inside the device.
4) Use an original INTEGRA Biosciences mains adapter only and protect it from
moisture, otherwise PIPETBOY pro might be damaged.
5) Prolonged exposure of PIPETBOY pro to UV-light can cause discolouration and/or
yellowing of the plastic housing. However, this will not affect the performance of the
device in any way.
6) Old NiMH batteries may cause a safety risk. We recommend to replace the batteries
after 5 years of use. Also replace the batteries if the charging intervals are unusually
short or if the charging takes much longer than usual (11 hours or more). These are
indicators that the batteries have reached the end of its life-cycle.
7) NiMH technology bears the risk of cell rupture if the battery was damaged. Do not
expose the battery to heat (> 60°C) and avoid mechanical stress.
8) To extend the battery life-cycle, it is recommended to charge the batteries once a
month if the PIPETBOY pro is not used regularly. If the PIPETBOY pro is not used for
more than 3 months, remove the batteries from the instrument.
Regardless of the listed safety notes, additionally applicable regulations and guidelines of
trade associations, health authorities, trade supervisory offices, etc. must be observed.
Please visit our website www.integra-biosciences.com on a regular basis for up to date
information regarding REACH classified chemicals contained in our products.

3 Installation
3.1 Inserting or replacing the batteries
3.2 Charging the batteries
A full charge takes 10 hours, but before the first use, PIPETBOY pro should be charged
at least 16 hours.
When the battery charge indicator (5) lights up red, PIPETBOY pro needs charging
immediately. PIPETBOY pro has an integrated overcharge protection.
The battery charge indicator (5) lights up green when the mains adapter is connected.
PIPETBOY pro can be used while it is being charged.
3.3 Mounting of the wall mount
The supplied wall mount serves to park PIPETBOY pro.
To mount the wall mount, remove the protective foil from the adhesive tape at the back of
the mount and press it to the desired place. Make sure that the surface onto which the wall
mount is mounted is smooth, clean and grease-free. Wait 24 hours before using the wall
mount for the first time. Alternatively the wall mount can be fixed with the included screws.
1) Remove the silicone plug (c), unscrew the flexor (b)
and remove it with the cover (a).
2) Insert two original INTEGRA rechargeable batteries
(1.2 V) with the correct polarity (+/–).
3) Put the cover and flexor back in place and tighten the
screw not excessively. Cover the screw with the
silicone plug (c).

3.4 Set-up and use of the charging station (optional accessory)
The optionally available charging station (Part No 156 450) serves to simultaneously park
and charge PIPETBOY pro.
To mount the charging station on a wall, use one of the
following means:
• double-sided adhesive tape
• screw fixation
Alternatively, the charging station can be placed on the
bench when fitted with rubber feet that prevent its sliding.
Plug the cable of the mains adapter in the socket on the
side of the charging station and connect the mains
adapter to the power supply.
Parking PIPETBOY pro in the charging station starts
charging.

PIPETBOY pro - Operating instructions V11 Operation
10 INTEGRA Biosciences AG
4 Operation
4.1 Inserting the pipette
WARNING
Do not insert pipettes with force into PIPETBOY pro, because they can break
and cause injury, particularly thin pipettes made of glass.
4.2 Pipetting
Press the aspiration button (1) to fill the pipette and the dispensing button (2) to empty it.
The aspiration and dispensing speed can be controlled in two manners:
• Fine speed adjustment by varying the finger pressure on the buttons (1, 2).
• Step-less presetting of the maximum pump speed by turning the thumb wheel (3) to
optimally match the pipette volume (turning to the left = slower pump speed, for small
pipettes; to the right = faster, for large pipettes).
To empty the pipette by gravity force, press the dispensing button only slightly in order to
avoid reaching the trigger point where the pump starts running. Gravity dispensing is used
for “to deliver” (TD) pipettes that are not of the “blow-out” type (blow-out pipettes have two
thin rings or a frosted band around the neck).
4.3 LED illumination
The LED (8) near the nose piece illuminates the work area around the pipette when the
pipetting buttons (1, 2) are pressed. After release of the button, the LED remains alight for
a approx. five seconds. The on/off-switch (9) at the base of the handle (10) serves to
switch the LED function on (I) or off (0).
The pipette mount (11c) has a special conical channel to
guarantee a firm and leak-proof grip of the pipette
independently of its diameter.
Unscrew the nose piece housing (11d) and orient the
pipette mount:
a) with the large opening facing down for pipettes
> 2 ml (factory setting), or
b) with the small opening facing down for pipettes
<2ml.
a) b)

4.4 Troubleshooting Problem Probable cause Remedy Pipette drips (leak in the system).
Pipette is damaged or not fully inserted in the nose piece (11).
Reinsert a new pipette by pushing it all the way into the nose piece. Make sure that the pipette mount orientation is correct for the used pipette (see “4.1 Inserting the pipette”
on page 10).
The inside of the pipette mount (11c) is damaged resulting in insufficient sealing of the pipette neck.
Replace the pipette mount (Part No. 151020).
The filter rubber (11a) or the filter (11b) in the nose piece are damaged or missing causing a leak.
Replace the filter rubber (Part No. 153225) and/or the filter (Part No. see “7 Accessories” on page 15).
Reduced aspiration efficiency or no liquid aspiration.
The filter (11b) is wet or dirty. Replace filter. The nose piece (11) is not tight. Tighten the nose piece, or replace defective parts. The batteries are discharged (battery charge indicator lights red).
Charge the batteries.
The batteries are missing. Insert the batteries, or connect the instrument to the mains
adapter.
The batteries are defective. Replace the batteries. The batteries are wrongly inserted. Insert correctly, note polarity (+) and (-).
Reduced operating time with fully charged batteries.
The batteries are worn. Replace the batteries. Wrong battery type is inserted. Use only original consumables.

PIPETBOY pro - Operating instructions V11 Maintenance
12 INTEGRA Biosciences AG
5 Maintenance
After maintenance work, perform a leak test to ascertain correct functioning of
PIPETBOY pro: liquid should not leak out of a filled pipette before the dispensing button
is pressed.
5.1 Cleaning and servicing
PIPETBOY pro can be cleaned with a cloth moistened with soapy water or with a 70 %
ethanol.
It is recommended to change the hydrophobic filter (11b) every three months. Should the
filter get wetted or soiled, it has to be changed immediately. The filter must be oriented
with the blue (0.45 µl) / red (0.2 µl) side facing upwards towards PIPETBOY pro.
5.2 Decontamination
The nose piece (11), the pipette mount (11c) and the filter rubber (11a) can be autoclaved
at 121°C, 1 bar overpressure for 20 minutes. Silicone may become brittle after extensive
autoclaving. Replace the pipette mount and filter rubber if they are damaged.
If the housing of the PIPETBOY pro have been in contact with biohazardous material, it
must be decontaminated in accordance to good laboratory practice. Do not spray directly
on the instrument but use a lint-free cloth, lightly soaked with a disinfectant and wipe dry
directly after decontamination. Never use acetone or other solvents! Follow the
instructions provided by the disinfectant manufacturer.
The device may be decontaminated with H2O2gas (maximal concentration 35 %) for 60
minutes.
5.3 Equipment disposal
The PIPETBOY pro device must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal
waste. Do not dispose of the device in a fire. Do not modify the NiMH batteries
in any way. Discharge the batteries before disposal. Dispose of the
PIPETBOY pro and the batteries separately in accordance with the laws and
regulations in your area governing disposal of devices containing NiMH
batteries.
In certain regions and countries, e.g. in EU member states, the distributor is obliged to take
back this product free of charge at the end of life. Please contact your local distributor for
