Safety; Intended Use - Thermo Scientific Finnpipette Digital Guide D'utilisation

Cautions are marked with this symbol

Intended use

The intended use of the device is to transfer liquids in the volume range of 0,2 µl to 10 ml.
The Finnpipette Digital pipette and Finntips are designed as a component of an analyzing system
for an end user, who is responsible for validating the system to ensure reliable and safe results.
Damage to health
Follow general procedures for hazard prevention and safety instructions; e.g. wear protective
clothing, eye protection and gloves.
For use and waste disposal of hazardous (e.g. radioactive and potentially infectious)
material, follow the safety instructions and general laboratory practice.
The pipette and tips are not intended for in vivo use. Do not use the pipette for pipetting any
liquid to be injected into a human body.
Do not eject the tip towards anybody.
The Finnpipette Digital is to be used by trained personnel with required laboratory skills. The
instructions for use must be read prior to and during the use of the device (pipette and tip). The
Finnpipette Digital pipette can be used between +4°C and +40°C.
Incorrect dispensing results
Performance may vary due to:
a. pipetting method (forward pipetting technique recommended)
b. temperature (air, liquid, vessel, pipette, and tip)
c. pressure
d. humidity
e. operator, e.g. thumb movement, pipetting angle
f. liquid density, viscosity and vapor pressure
g. type of tip
If the pipetting performance is critical to the outcome of a specific application, the result has
to be assured with an alternative test, and if this is not an option, by duplicate testing.
The possibility of an incorrect volume delivery during pipetting cannot be entirely mitigated.
To avoid inaccurate dispensing and/or leakage, check that the tip is properly attached to
the pipette.
When rotating the volume adjustment button, do not exceed the volume range of
the pipette.
Otherwise the pipette may be damaged or affect pipetting performance.
Pipetting performance cannot be guaranteed if the tip is reused.
Choose only a tip and pipette with matching color coding.
Disposal of the Materials
Follow laboratory and country-specifi c procedures for the disposal of biohazardous or radioactive
waste. Refer to local regulations for the disposal of infectious material.
Warning The tips can be potentially infectious. Dispose of all used disposable tips as
biohazardous waste.
Warning Decontaminate the pipette before disposal.
Waste disposal according to local instructions taking into account legislation in place. For more
information, please contact us at info.pipettes@thermofisher.com or your local Thermo
Fisher Scientific representative.
Regarding the original packaging and packing materials, use the recycling operators known
to you.
