General safety instructions
•
Never use the automated preparator to sterilise hazardous materials or products, which contain
alkalis. Sterilisation of these products may cause an explosion, corrosion of the chamber or
chamber pipework and damage to seals.
•
Should a liquid containing salt water and high salinity agar-saline agar, etc. be used, you must
rinse the vessel well after use and wipe the latter's surfaces as well as around the cover seal
(corrosion risk).
•
Do not modify the device.
•
The MEDIAWEL must form the subject of annual preventive maintenance, carried out by trained
personnel authorised by ALLIANCE BIO EXPERTISE.
•
Defective parts must only be replaced with original spare parts supplied directly or
indirectly by ALLIANCE BIO EXPERTISE.
The MEDIAWEL is exposed to high temperatures and pressures during
sterilisation cycles. For this reason, it is essential to follow the safety
instructions in this operating manual.
