4. Functional description
The machine is designed for the handling of hazardous waste.
The waste is placed in a funnel (a), which is covered by a seemingly endless, tubular
polyethylene (PE) foil (b).
When the foot pedal is pressed, the open end of the PE foil (c), with the waste inside, is
sealed together.
The sealed bag is then fed down (d) into the hazardous waste container below the unit (e),
while at the same time a new foil from the bag cassette is fed in so that further waste can be
packaged.
Should a longer bag than the pre-set length be required, press the foot pedal until the waste
has passed the sealing bars.
The machine does not release any hazardous substances, gases or other emissions during
sealing. Complete incineration of the foil will only yield water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and energy.

7. Replacement of foil cassette
To signal the end of the foil cassette and that it is time to replace it, a red STOP is printed on the
last 2 metres of the foil.
Only the original foil cassette from PAXXO, item number
10880 , is to be used.
Any other types of foil might ignite and start a fire. It is
important to use the right type of foil cassette as
functionality cannot otherwise be guaranteed.

8. Waste disposal
The packaged waste should be collected in a container for hazardous waste and handled
according to local instructions. The system is tested for safe disposal of cytotoxic waste for 7
(seven) days.
For more information go to: www.pactosafe.com
9. Adjustment of bag length
If required, the bag length can be adjusted.
The adjustment range is from approx. 140–400 mm.
The length of the bag is pre-set using a knob to the right on the front panel of the unit.
The pre-set value is the length of the next bag after sealing.
The bag length can be increased by keeping the foot pedal depressed before sealing.
Tip! Avoid unnecessarily long bags to conserve foil usage. Minimise the volume. Avoid long bags,
as air fills up the bags and the waste container fills up sooner.
10. Battery operation and charging (optional)
A battery is available as an optional extra when ordering.
Red LED light on front panel is constantly
lit. Do not use the machine – it needs to be charged.
Red LED light lights up during sealing. This does not mean that something is wrong; wait.
Orange LED light on the charger. The battery is being rapidly charged.
Yellow LED light is lit. The battery is not connected or the charger is starting up.
Orange/green LED light flashes. Something is wrong with the charging or connection.
Green/yellow LED light on charger. The charger has reached its peak.
Green LED light on the charger. The battery is fully charged – disconnect the charger.
•If the machine is not to be used for a long time, switch it off to save the battery. Keep in mind that
the machine takes about 5 seconds to start after the switch has been switched on again.
•For the battery not to lose its ability to charge, it must be charged at least once a month.
•Never use the machine while it is charging.
•After about 6 hours of charging, the charger switches to maintenance charging/pulsing.
•Always unplug the charger from the wall outlet before disconnecting it from the machine.
•When charging, always connect the charger to the machine before connecting it to the wall outlet.
•The battery has a longer life if it is fully charged before use and should always be fully charged.
•The machine may only be charged with the Pactosafe charger Type 2216 manufactured by
Mascot.

11. Checking the sealing result
It is important to check the result of the sealing regularly to ensure that the bags are hermetically
sealed. Severe wear and tear on the sealing bars or damage to them can adversely affect the
result.
The foil has not melted together.
Correct sealing joint.
Flat and even sealing joint.
Holes in the foil, uneven sealing
joint.
12. Checking the safety device
It is important to check the crush guard on a weekly basis.
Press on the foot pedal and hold an object of 10–20 mm thickness between the sealing bars. The
sealing bars should stop and return to their starting position when they encounter resistance more than
8 mm in thickness.
Check annually whether the stickers on the funnel are damaged. Contact the manufacturer if they need
to be replaced.
13. Troubleshooting
Always state the serial number when contacting the distributor/manufacturer.
It is found on the back of the machine.
When ordering, a newly repaired plug-in unit is sent with
replacement instructions, and the defective plug-in unit should
be returned in the same box. The plug-in units are repaired and
delivered in tailor-made boxes.

With frequent use, the sealing bars can
build up heat and the plastic melts in the
seal joint. To avoid this, wait at least
15 seconds between each seal, so that the
sealing jaws have time to cool. It can also
be an indication that the funnel is
incorrectly fitted or that the plastic is pulled
down unevenly. App
ly the cassette again
and make sure that the funnel is seated
correctly.
The foil is adhering to the
sealing bars.
Waste is stuck between the sealing bars.

14. Cleaning and decontamination
The machine must be decontaminated by cleaning according to the instructions below.
Always use suitable gloves.
It is important to decontaminate the machine to avoid transmission of drugs and infection.
•Turn off the switch.
