VACUSIP - Operating instructions V04 Introduction

1 Introduction

These operating instructions contain all the information required for installation, operation
and maintenance of the VACUSIP aspiration system.

English

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.

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

If the VA CUS IP is used i n a man ner not specified by INTEGRA Biosciences, the protection
provided by the VACUSIP may be impaired.

1.2 Safety notes

WARNING

Read these operating instructions carefully before use and pay particular
attention to sections containi ng thi s symb ol .

1.2.1 General

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 or charge VACUSIP 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 VACUSIP 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.

VACUSIP - Operating instructions V04 Introduction

1.2.2 Battery (model 159 000)

1) Charge the VACUSIP device using only the charger supplied by INTEGRA
Biosciences.

2) 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 (6 hours or more). These are
indicators that the battery has reached the end of its life-cycle.

3) 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.

4) To extend the battery life-cycle, it is recommended to charge the battery every 2
months if the VACUSIP is not used regularly. If the VACUSIP is not used for more than
6 months, unplug the battery, see 3.3.5

5) If despite all safety measures the VACUSIP Li-ion battery catches fire and toxic
(typically dense, white) fumes emanate from the VACUSIP device, immediately
evacuate the working area. The VACUSIP housing is made of special flame retardant
material that has proven its capability to contain a battery fire. During a battery fire the
housing surface may become very hot. Do not touch the housing by hand and wait at
least 20 minutes after fumes have disappeared before approaching the device. Do no
longer use the VACUSIP device.
