the user or third parties if it is not used by tr ained personnel or improperly or for purposes other tha n those for
which it is intended.
• The barcode u nit must not be operated with highly corrosive substances t hat can im pair the mecha nical strength
of accessories.
• Repairs must only be carried out by personnel authorised to do so by the manufacturer.
• Only original spare parts and approved original accessories from Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co. KG may be used.
• The following safety regulations apply:
EN / IEC 61010-1 and EN / IEC 61010-2-020 and their national deviations.
• The security and reliability of the barcode unit is only guaranteed if:
− the barcode unit is operated according to the operating instructions.
− the electrical installation, at the installation site of the barcode unit, meets the requirements of EN / IEC
specifications.
• Meeting the country-specific requirements concerning occupational safety with regard t o the use of laboratory
centrifuges at the workplaces provided for this purpose by the user is the responsibility of the user.
• HettInfo II only supports SMB protocol version 1.0 for network communication.
• The HettInfo II system can buffer up to 3000 runs. The data must be transferred to a server at least once a week.

8 Barcodes
8.1 Usable Barcodes
The barcode scanner recognizes the following barcodes with the factory setting:
• Code 128 (with check digit)
Barcodes must not contain diacritics. The scanning of diacritics leads to data manipulation of the scanned data. If a
diacritic is scanned, the device beeps 4x and the red lamp lights up. The operator must then delete all scan data. ->
Scan StartCode and start scanning again.
It is forbidden to create operator ID barcodes that begin with the character strings (HET#; HET!; HET%; HB$).
Each barcode that is used for an operator ID can be used only once.
If this barcode is deleted, it may no longer be used.
HettInfo II only uses the assignment barcode -> name of the operator for the operator ID.
If an operator name is changed, a new barcode must be used.
Should it happen that two or more employees have identical first and last names, the customer must consider an
identification possibility when entering the operator name.
Example: BC1 -> J.Mayer_No1
BC2 -> J.Mayer_No2
8.2 Explanation of the barcodes used for control pu rposes
Startcode: This code must be affixed to the centrifuge lid.
It informs the barcode unit that a barcode set is about to begin.
Endcode: This code must be affixed to the centrifuge lid.
It informs the barcode unit that the barcode set has now been completed.
Operator ID It informs the barcode unit which operator is currently working.
Program number
barcode:
Blood bag code: This code is attached to the blood bag.
Tells the barcode unit which centrifuge program is to be used. If no centrifuge program is
stored on the program position in the centrifuge control or if no program is scanned, an error
message appears.
