1 Introduction
These operating instructions contain all the information required for installation, operation
and maintenance of the MAG and HEATMAG modules. This chapter informs about the
symbols used in these operating instructions, the intended use of MAG/HEATMAG and
the general safety instructions.
1.1 Symbols used
The operating instructions specifically advise of residual risks with the following symbols:
WARNING
This safety symbol warns against hazards that could result in injury. It also
indicates hazards for machinery, materials and the environment.
It is essential that you follow the corresponding precautions.
CAUTION
This symbol cautions against potential material damage or the loss of data in
a microprocessor controller. Follow the instructions.
NOTE
This symbol identifies important notes regarding the correct operation of the
device and labor-saving features.
The module is marked with the following symbol:
ATTENTION HOT
Do not touch the heat plate (4) or the labware adapter during and after the
heat cycles. They can reach a temperature of up to 110 °C. Risk of second-
degree burns.
1.2 Intended use
This is a general-purpose laboratory instrument for use in research only. Any use of this
instrument in a medical or IVD setting is under the sole responsibility of the user.
This product may only be operated in a secure, protected network with validated,
trustworthy clients. The operator must ensure that network security measures are always
up-to-date and state-of-the-art. This product may not be directly exposed to the internet.
If the MAG/HEATMAG modules are used in a manner not specified by
INTEGRA Biosciences, the protection provided by the MAG/HEATMAGs may be
impaired.
MAG/HEATMAG modules are motor driven, adjustable magnets for magnetic beat
separation. They have a SBS footprint and can be used as a stand-alone device, e.g. on
MINI96 and VIAFLO96/384, or be integrated into the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot. In
addition, the HEATMAG provides a heating function.
