PIPETBOY acu 2 - Operating instructions V13 Introduction

4 INTEGRA Biosciences AG

1 Introduction

1.1 Intended use

PIPETBOY acu 2 is a pipette controller designed for aspirating and dispensing aqueous
solutions with plastic or glass pipettes of 1 to 100 ml volumes. It is intended for
measurement, control and laboratory use. Any use of this instrument in a medical or IVD
setting is under the sole responsibility of the user.

PIPETGIRL is a special model of PIPETBOY acu 2 and provides the same functions as
PIPETBOY acu 2.

1.2 Safety notes

1) Do not use or charge PIPETBOY acu 2 in an atmosphere with danger of explosion.

Also, do not pipette highly flammable liquids such as acetone or ether.

2) When handling dangerous substances, comply with the material safety data sheet

(MSDS) and with all safety guidelines such as the use of protective clothing and safety
goggles. Never point a pipette in anyone’s direction.

3) Avoid pipetting of liquids whose vapours could attack the materials PA (polyamide),

POM (polyoxymethylene), FPM (fluor-rubber), NBR (nitrile-rubber), CR (chloroprene),
silicone. Corrosive vapours could also damage metallic parts inside the device.

4) Use an original INTEGRA Biosciences mains adapter only and protect it from moisture,

otherwise PIPETBOY acu 2 might be damaged.

5) Prolonged exposure of PIPETBOY acu 2 to UV-light can cause discolouration and/or

yellowing of the plastic housing. However, this will not affect the performance of the
device in any way.

6) Old Li-ion batteries may cause a safety risk. We recommend to replace the battery after

3 years of use. Also replace the battery if the charging intervals are unusually short or
if the charging takes much longer than usual (4 hours or more). These are indicators
that the battery has reached the end of its life-cycle.

7) Li-ion technology bears the risk of thermal runaway and cell rupture if the battery was

damaged. Do not expose the battery to heat (> 60°C) and avoid mechanical stress.
Batteries which were subject to deep discharges may develop internal short circuits,
leading to an increased self-discharge rate and heating during battery charging. This
may also result in thermal runaway and cell rupture.

8) To extend the battery life-cycle, it is recommended to charge the battery every 2

months if the pipette controller is not used regularly. If the pipette controller is not used
for more than 6 months, remove the battery from the instrument.

Regardless of the listed safety notes, additionally applicable regulations and guidelines of
trade associations, health authorities, trade supervisory offices, etc. must be observed.
