English

1 Introduction

1.1 Intended use

This is a general-purpose laboratory instrument. Any use of this instrument in a medical
or IVD setting is under the sole responsibility of the user.

VACUSAFE is a vacuum-based system for aspiration of non explosive aqueous solutions,
such as biological buffers and media.

If the VACUSAFE is used in a manner not specified by INTEGRA Biosciences, the
protection provided by the VACUSAFE may be impaired.

1.2 Safety notes

WARNING

Read these operating instructions carefully before use and pay particular
attention to sections containing this symbol.

1) Do not carry out any conversions and alterations on the device.

2) Defective parts may only be replaced with original INTEGRA Biosciences spare parts
according to the INTEGRA Biosciences operating or service instructions.

3) Do not use VACUSAFE in an atmosphere with danger of explosion. Also, do not
aspirate highly flammable liquids such as acetone or ether.

4) 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.

5) Prolonged exposure of VACUSAFE to UV-light can cause discoloration and/or

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

6) Excess spare parts, accessories and consumables (e.g. tubings, lids, plastic parts,

rubber products, O-rings, filter) should be stored in a light protected place at ambient
temperature to prevent premature material aging caused by prolonged exposure to UV­light.

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