Dear Customer, any product that is to be returned to Leica Biosystems or serviced on site, must be
cleaned and decontaminated in the appropriate manner. Since it is not possible to decontaminate for
prion diseases, such as CJD, BSE, CWD etc., equipment exposed to specimens containing prion diseases
cannot be returned to Leica Biosystems for repair. On-site repair of prion contaminated equipment will
only be conducted after the Field Service Engineer has been educated in the risks, instructed in the
policies and procedures of the institution and provided with personal protective equipment. This
certificate, duly completed, must be placed in the instrument, attached to the outside of the shipping
crate or handed directly to the service engineer.
Packages will not be opend nor servicing commenced until the Company or service engineer have received
a satisfactory certificate. Should returned goods be considered a hazard by the Company, they will be returned
immediately to the customer at his/her expense. NB: Microtome knives must be in boxes.
