Intended Use of the Sterisart Universal Pump | Important Notes on the Safe and Proper Usage of the Sterisart Universal Pump
1 Intended Use of the
Sterisart Universal Pump
The new Sterisart Universal pump is a peristaltic pump equipped with appropriate
devices for attaching a closed sterility test system and a sample container.
The pump draws liquid from the sample container into the specially designed double
tubing, distributing the liquid equally to both sample containers of the sterility test
system. The sample is rinsed in a similar way. After the nutrient media is added, the
sample containers are incubated for a prescribed time and evaluated.
2 Important Notes on the Safe
and Proper Usage of the Sterisart
Universal Pump
– The Sterisart Universal pump must be switched off before any electrical connections
are made or broken (e.g. when plugging in or unplugging the power cable, foot
switch or control unit with display).
– The Sterisart Universal pump must only be used with the original current-carrying
parts supplied with it (power cable with ferrite core, D-Sub connecting cable and
foot switch). The D-Sub protective cap supplied must cover the port when the
D-Sub connecting cable is not connected.
– The Sterisart Universal pump is designed for use with Sterisart NF filtration systems.
The suitability of any other tubing must be approved by Sartorius.
– Only authorized Sartorius service technicians are allowed to open the pump
housing.
– Do not expose the Sterisart Universal pump to extreme temperatures.
– Improper use or handling will invalidate the manufacturer's guarantee.
– Sterisart Universal pump may only be used with a grounded, readily accessible
and fuse-protected electrical outlet that complies with national standards.
– When using device components that do not correspond to their original version,
performance, safety and EMC behavior can be negatively affected.
