In Chapter 8, ‘Instruments at a Glance’ you will find useful illustrations of the
instruments giving an overview of the main components.

On the detail drawings and the text passages in this document (mainly in Chapter 6,

‘Replacement of Spare Parts, Repair’), one main part is always designated with the

identical item number – for example (8) for LiHa – as on the relevant illustration in
chapter 8. Item numbers of their components consist always of the main part item
number, a dash and the item number of the component – for example (8-04) for LiHa
backplane.

Purpose of This
Chapter

Significance of
These Safety
Instructions

This chapter contains specific rules of behavior and warnings from hazards with regard
to installation, setup, maintenance and repair of the Genesis RSP, RMP or RWS
instruments.

The safety of users and personnel can only be ensured if these safety instructions and
the safety-related warnings in the individual chapters are strictly observed and followed.

Therefore, the Service Manual must always be available to all persons performing the
tasks described herein.

In addition to the safety instructions given in this Service Manual, the safety instructions
pointed out in the Operating Manuals of the Genesis RSP, RMP or RWS instruments
apply as well.

2.1 User Qualification

FSE Authorization The field service engineers (FSE) are specially trained personnel. Exclusively FSEs are

entitled to perform the maintenance and service work described in this Service Manual.

The manufacturer Tecan authorizes the FSEs if they fulfill the following particular
qualifications:

WARNING
Symbols

• They must have received appropriate service and operator training from Tecan.

• They must be familiar with the good laboratory practice guidelines.

• They must have read and understood the instructions in this Service Manual.

2.2 Notices and Symbols

2.2.1 Warning Notices Used in This Manual

The symbols used for safety-related notices have the following significance:

WARNING

Generally, the triangular warning symbol indicates the possibility of personal injury or
even loss of life if the instructions are not followed.

Whenever possible, the symbol indicates the hazard a person is exposed to more
specifically. The symbols used in this Service Manual have the following significance:

Do not use a cellular phone.

2.2.2 Warning Notices Attached to the Product or Its Surroundings

Cellular Phones
Prohibited

Do not use cellular phones in the proximity of the instrument.

This symbol is attached to the safety panel of the instrument. The symbol must also be
attached to the laboratory door.

Damaged or fallen off symbols (notices or stickers) must be replaced immediately.

2.3 Use of the Product

Intended Use The Genesis RSP, RMP or RWS instruments are to be applied and used exclusively in

the following application fields. Any other use is considered improper and is strictly
forbidden.

• The Genesis RSP is intended for liquid pipetting for generally known laboratory
methods according to common safety precautions.

• The Genesis RMP is intended for fully automated processing of 96-well microplate
based ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) and ELISA-like tests,
starting from sample pipetting and ending with result reading.
All ELISA test procedures have to be validated prior to performing routine tests.

• The Genesis RWS Logistics is intended for pipetting tasks as well as storage,
identification and transfer of microplates. It is to be applied for research only.
The Genesis RWS Logistics is intended to be part of a liquid handling system and
as such installed and put into operation by a trained Tecan or Tecan authorized
system integrator.

• The Genesis RWS Assay is intended for processing of microplate based tests,
including liquid handling, incubation, wash, read and data acquisition. It is to be
applied for research only.
The Genesis RWS Assay is intended to be part of a liquid handling system and as
such installed and put into operation by a trained Tecan or Tecan authorized system
integrator.

All Genesis instruments are intended for indoor operation and storage only.

Improper Use Due to their open architecture, the Genesis RWS Assay and Logistics are not intended

for clinical and diagnostic applications. These applications would be carried out by less
qualified people, exposing them to dangerous liquids in case of instrument malfunction.

Incorrect use of the Genesis RMP may lead to false test results and may cause
exposure of the operator to potentially dangerous compounds.

Do not attempt to use liquids with undissolved particles as this could result in liquid not
being dispensed due to clogged tips.

2.4 Product Safety

Principle The Genesis RSP, RMP or RWS instruments are designed and built in accordance with

the present state-of-the-art technology and the recognized technical safety regulations.

Nevertheless, risks to users, property, and the environment can arise when the
instrument is used carelessly or improperly.

The manufacturer has determined all residual dangers emanating from the instrument
in all life phases and from the process.

Appropriate warnings in the Operating Manuals of the Genesis RSP, RMP or RWS
instruments and in this Service Manual serve to make the user alert to these residual
dangers.

2.4.1 Instrument-Related Hazards and Safety Measures

Pay attention to the following safety notices:

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard.
Switch the instrument off and disconnect from mains whenever no power is required to
perform service tasks.

ATTENTION

Crimping of the tubing between top cover and case possible.
Secure the top cover from falling down during inspection work.

ATTENTION

Damage to the electronic boards due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Always wear a wrist strap when handling the boards.

2.4.2 Other Hazards and Safety Measures

WARNING

• Chemical, biological and radioactive hazards can be associated with the
substances used or the samples processed with the Genesis RSP, RMP or RWS
instrument.

• The same applies to waste disposal.

Always be aware of possible hazards associated with these substances.

Request a filled out and signed Decontamination Declaration prior to performing any
maintenance or repair tasks.

2.4.3 Safety Elements

2 – Safety

Removal of
Protective
Devices

When to
Decontaminate

The protective and safety devices installed on the Genesis RSP, RMP or RWS
instrument must be neither removed nor disabled during operation.

If such elements were removed, e.g. for maintenance work, operation may only be
resumed when all protective and safety devices have been completely installed and
checked.

2.5 Decontamination

Apart from regular decontamination, the user must thoroughly decontaminate the
instrument according to standard laboratory regulations in the following cases:

• Before any maintenance or service work is performed on the instrument

• Before a Tecan field service engineer (FSE) performs any in-site work on the
instrument

• Before the instrument is returned to Tecan (e.g. for repair)

• Prior to storage of the instrument

• Prior to disposal of the instrument or parts of it

• Generally before the instrument or parts of it leave the user’s site.

Decontamination
Method

Decontamination
Declaration

The decontamination method must be adapted to the respective application and the
substances associated with it. The user takes the full responsibility for the appropriate
decontamination of the entire equipment.

WARNING

Biological or chemical hazard and/or radioactive radiation.

• Contamination hazard due to parts of the instrument which are not completely
decontaminated.

• Mind that not only the parts having direct contact with chemicals or biological
material must be treated, but also the tubing system as well as the whole upstream
equipment.

Before a Tecan FSE carries out any work on the instrument, or before the instrument is
returned to Tecan, the owner of the instrument must confirm in writing that the
decontamination has been performed properly and in accordance with good laboratory
practice guidelines. For this, the owner must enclose a Decontamination Declaration
form (Doc ID 390 901), which can be provided by Tecan.

Note: Tecan will refuse any instrument or a part of it, if the decontamination form is not
filled in and duly signed.
