Intended use

This device is a medical product (laboratory centrifuge) within the context of the IVD Directive 98/79/EC.
The centrifuge was designed only for the separation of materials or mixtures with a density of no more than 1.2
kg/dm³.
This includes sample preparations for molecular biological investigations in the clinical area. Here, centrifugation is a
decisive step for extracting and purifying DNA and RNA from patient samples. In addition, many special kits are used
routinely. If kits and spin columns are used, the centrifuge, with a sufficiently high centrifugal acceleration and its
specially designed rotor for the centrifugation of spin column kits, meets the requirements for sample preparation in
infection diagnostics.
The centrifuge is only meant for this purpose.
Another use or one which goes beyond this, is considered to be non-intended. The company Andreas Hettich GmbH
& Co. KG is not liable for damage resulting from this.
Observing all information in the operating instructions and complying with the measures described therein is also a
part of the intended use.
If the centrifuge is installed in another device or in a system, the manufacturer of the overall system is responsible for
its safety.
