1 General information
1.1 Importance of the operating manual
A fundamental requirement for the safe and trouble-free operation of the
centrifuge is to be familiar with the fundamental safety instructions and all
possible hazards.
The operating manual includes important information concerning the safe
operation of the centrifuge.
This operating manual and, in particular, the notes on safety and hazards
must be observed by all persons operating the centrifuge.
In addition, the local rules and regulations for the prevention of accidents
must be complied with.

1.2 Intended use
The laboratory centrifuge is suitable for the separation of constituents of
different densities in mixtures with a maximum density of 1.2 g/cm3.
The laboratory centrifuge that is marked with IVD is intended for human
biological samples, including donated blood and tissue, in conjunction with
diagnostic in-vitro applications. This means that it is a medical product in
accordance with the IVD directive 98/79/EC.
Only trained, specialised personnel are authorised to use the centrifuge in
closed laboratories.
The intended use also includes:
•observation of all of the notes and instructions that are included in the
operating manual and
•compliance with the inspection and maintenance instructions.
Sigma Laborzentrifugen GmbH cannot be held liable for any damage
resulting from non-compliance.

1.3 Warranty and liability
The warranty and liability are subject to our "General Conditions" that were
distributed to the operator upon the conclusion of the contract.
Warranty and liability claims are excluded if they are due to:
•improper use.
•non-compliance with the safety instructions and hazard warnings in the
operating manual.
•improper installation, start-up, operation, or maintenance of the
centrifuge.
