Warnings, safety, and warranty information
WARNING: Read and understand this guide before servicing
the equipment.
The Thermo Scientific™HyPerforma™DynaDrive Single-Use Bioreactor (S.U.B.) is
designed to be operated under traditional eukaryotic cell culture conditions. A general
understanding of bioreactor systems and their operation is important prior to using
the system for the first time. Read and understand this user’s guide before operating;
failure to do so could result in injury and potential loss of product. Only trained operators
should be allowed to operate the equipment.
WARNING: Hazardous voltage inside.
The agitation motor, motor controller, and electrical control panel (E-Box)
all have electrical components. There is a risk of electrical shock and injury.
Disconnect power before opening electrical components. Service should be
performed by certified personnel only.
Please note any electrical hazard labels on the equipment. Thermo Fisher Scientific
recommends using standard lockout procedures when working on electrical
components. The main switch on the E-Box may be locked out.
WARNING: Rotating parts—entanglement hazard.
Rotating and moving parts can cause injury. Keep hands away from moving parts
during operation.
• Do not operate this equipment unless the supplied guarding is in place and
properly functioning.
• It is the responsibility of the end user to assess this equipment and ensure that
equipment and safeguards are in good working condition, and that all operators are
trained and aware of entanglement hazards and associated protective devices, such
as hazard signs and guarding.
WARNING: Follow lockout/tagout procedures.
To prevent injury, when servicing equipment, use your company’s lockout/tagout
procedures to isolate electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, chemical, thermal,
gravitational, or any other potential energy and protect workers from the release of
hazardous energy.
WARNING: Hot surface. Do not touch.
The heating jacket is designed to heat the inner vessel wall. Normal operating conditions
generate heat, and could create hot surfaces.
• Hot surface inside
• Contact with surfaces may cause burns
• Do not touch while in operation
Warnings, safety, and warranty information
Thermo Scientific 1DynaDrive S.U.B. Service Guide

Warnings, safety, and warranty information
WARNING: Pinch hazard.
To avoid pinching and injuring an operator or causing damage to the equipment or the
BioProcess Container (BPC), use caution when opening and closing the door, securing
the BPC to the bottom port in the tank, or during operation of the DynaDrive S.U.B.
WARNING: Tipping hazard. The vessel should only be moved by pushing
using the provided handles or at the mid-point of the vessel.
If pulled or moved too quickly, the vessel can tip, potentially leading to damage to
equipment or injury to personnel. To reduce the risk of tipping, the vessel should only
be moved slowly over smooth, flat surfaces by at least two qualified personnel. During
movement, any locking feet should be retracted, and casters should be in the unlocked
position. The vessel should not be moved by pulling of any kind.
WARNING: The Thermo Scientific HyPerforma DynaDrive S.U.B. may not be
installed in a potentially explosive atmosphere as set forth in the applicable
EU ATEX Directive.
It is the responsibility of the end user to review and understand the potential dangers
listed in the ATEX 2014/34/EU guidelines.
Electrical connections
Power should be supplied by a non-GFCI 20 amp circuit. Ground faults occur
when current is leaking somewhere; in effect, electricity is escaping to the ground.
Electrocution can occur when the human body serves as the path for the
leakage to the ground. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) senses the current
flowing to the ground and switches off the power (trips the GFCI) in a fraction of
a second at currents well below those that are considered dangerous. Due to the
sensitivity of GFCIs to electrical leakage (a few mA), it is recommended that DynaDrive
S.U.B.s are NOT plugged into a GFCI outlet.
Power outlet accessibility
For safety, the power outlet used to power the unit must be accessible at all times. In
case of emergency, you must be able to immediately disconnect the main power supply
to all of the equipment. Allow adequate space between the wall and the equipment so
that power cords can be disconnected in case of emergency.

Thermo Scientific 6DynaDrive S.U.B. Service Guide
The Thermo Scientific HyPerforma DynaDrive Single-Use Bioreactor (S.U.B.) offers a
flexible new alternative to traditional stirred-tank mixing. The system uses a redesigned
impeller system: a drive train is connected to both an overhead mixing motor via a
sealed bearing assembly and the bottom of the tank, allowing improved mixing while
maintaining the integrity of the system. In addition, the DynaDrive S.U.B. facilitates
greater scalability by allowing users to begin mixing at only 10% volume in 50 L units,
~8% in 3,000 L units, and 5% in 500 and 5,000 L units.
Each DynaDrive S.U.B. system consists of the following main components:
• Stainless steel outer support container with a water jacket heating system.
The outer support container is made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, and holds and
supports the BioProcess Container (BPC). The square shape of the DynaDrive S.U.B.
allows an optimized footprint in contrast to traditional round reactors.
• BPC, which is supplied gamma irradiated for ready-to-use, single-use mixing. The
flex drive train is located entirely inside of the BPC, and connects to the reactor at
the bottom of the tank in addition to the standard top hub, removing the need for
traditional drive shafts.
• Control system, provided by Thermo Scientific or a third party.

2.1. Servicing checklists
Ensure that the following servicing prerequisites are fulfilled before servicing a DynaDrive
S.U.B. system:
5Transportation allowing for the total weight of the DynaDrive S.U.B. is available.
5Servicing site includes a flat surface capable of supporting the total dimensions and
weight of the DynaDrive S.U.B.
5Proper tools are available (see Chapter 3).
2.2. Maintenance
The following routine maintenance guidelines are based on standard operating
conditions, as defined in the HyPerforma DynaDrive S.U.B. User’s Guide (DOC0090).
2.2.1. Routine maintenance
Environmental conditions, operating parameters, and adhering to standard operating
procedures as outlined in the user’s guide have significant impact upon the useful life
of your DynaDrive S.U.B. unit. The following guidelines are based upon the standard
operating conditions outlined in the user’s guide.
High-wear items such as bearings, seals, O-rings, and sterilization valves common to
conventional bioreactor systems have been purposefully considered in the design of
the construction of the DynaDrive S.U.B. The S.U.B. system is inherently robust and
requires low levels of routine maintenance. Take time between bioreactor runs to clean
the exterior of the hardware, which will improve the appearance and overall longevity of
the system.
2.2.2. Preventive maintenance
Replacement of the mixing motor is recommended every five years, or as needed.
Cables on 3,000 and 5,000 L units should be checked for wear annually.

3.2. Replacing the S.U.B. common-jacket drain
valve and wing nut tri-clamp
The following instructions detail how to replace the inlet and outlet drain valves and the
wing nut tri-clamps located on the backside of the DynaDrive unit. Note: The 5,000 L
DynaDrive S.U.B. has an additional pair of inlet and outlet ports at the base of the
2,000 L tank. A ladder or elevated platform is required to reach these ports.
3.2.1. Required parts and tools
See Tables 3.1–3.3 for part numbers based on your system size.
• Spare S.U.B. common-jacket drain valve (part number SV0177C.17)
• Spare 500 L quick connect (part number SV50239.93)
• Spare 500 L ball valve assembly (part number SV50239.38)
• Spare 3,000 and 5,000 L S.U.B. common-jacket drain valve (part number
SV51134.03)
• Spare wing nut tri-clamp (part number SV50177.384)
3.2.2. Preparations
Prior to installing the drain valve, ensure that the jacket and the inlet and outlet ports are
fully drained.
If you are replacing the entire 500 L ball valve assembly (and quick connect), you will
need to remove the hanging brackets before you can remove the valve from the tank
(see Figure 3.1).

3.2.3. Replacement procedures
1. Remove the valve from the inlet/outlet port by unscrewing the wing nut until it is loose
(Figure 3.2). Hold your hand under the valve as you remove the tri-clamp to catch the
valve as it detaches (Figure 3.3).
