Servicing and transportation
Improper or incorrect servicing or repair of the instrument can cause hazards to users, lead to unpredictable
results, cause instrument malfunctions or damage, as well as premature wear and tear and reduced life of the
instrument. It may also void your warranty.
Unless otherwise specifically noted in this user manual or other Miltenyi Biotec documentation, do not
service the instrument yourself. Servicing and repair must be performed by qualified service personnel.
When replacement or spare parts are required, ensure that the service provider uses only genuine Miltenyi
Biotec parts, or third-party parts specified and recommended by Miltenyi Biotec. Using unauthorized parts can
cause malfunctions of the instrument and impair results. Miltenyi Biotec does not honor any warranty or accept
any responsibility for instrument failure or damages resulting from the use of inappropriate parts. After
completing any service or repair work, ensure that your authorized Miltenyi Biotec service provider performs all
safety checks as required by the repair procedure to ensure that the instrument is operating correctly.
Only use options and upgrades recommended by Miltenyi Biotec. Inquire with your local Miltenyi Biotec
representative about Miltenyi Biotec's extensive instrument service and support arrangements, or refer to
www.miltenyibiotec.com/support.
The instrument should be transported with care in packaging specified by Miltenyi Biotec. Internal damage can
occur if the instrument is subjected to excessive vibration or is dropped. If the instrument needs to be shipped
back to the manufacturer for service, decontaminate the instrument to remove any hazardous material prior to
shipment. If you have questions regarding proper decontamination or shipment, contact Miltenyi Biotec
Technical Support for assistance.
