1.6 Intended use
1.6.1 Incubators BD
The incubators BD are designed for exact temperation of harmless materials. Because of their precise
temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for incubation of cultures at a standard
temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F. Any solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. A mixture of any
component of the charging material with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie
below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.
Other applications are not approved.
The incubators BD are not classified as medical devices as defined by the Medical Device
Directive 93/42/EEC.
Do NOT use the unit for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 9) is part of the intended use.
WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised
continuous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen
or samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this
is feasible.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the
machine components. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive
damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
1.6.2 Drying and heating ovens ED and FD
The drying and heating ovens ED and FD are suitable for drying and heat treatment of solid or pulverized
charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. The solvent content must not be
explosive or flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be
explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the
charging material. The drying and heating ovens ED and FD can be used to dry e.g. glassware.
Other applications are not approved.
The drying and heating ovens ED and FD are not classified as medical devices as defined by the
Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
Do NOT use the unit for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, these ovens are not
qualified for sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive.
Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 9) are part of the intended use.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the
machine components. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive
damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
