To reduce the risks associated with chemical exposure, impact, crush,
tipping hazards, property damage from product loss, bypass or cross
contamination due to pressure barrier failure, connector failure,
purifi cation media or capsule failure:
• Do not use this product for continuous service with compressed gasses.
Use of compressed gas is permissible for post-use integrity testing and
blow-down purposes only. Limit post-use integrity test and blow-down gas
pressures to less than 1.4 bar (20 psig) and temperature less than 25°C for
no longer than 30 minutes.
• Do not hang other items on this product.
• Do not gamma or ethylene oxide sterilize the capsules.
• Do not steam-in-place sterilize the capsule.
• Only expose the capsule to 1 sterilization or 1 sanitization cycle.
• Do not autoclave and base sanitize the same capsule prior to use.
• During pre-use autoclave sterilization do not exceed a temperature
of 121°C or a duration longer than 30 minutes for numbers BV0.3R
(EMP101AEX020R) and BV1R (EMP201AEX020R).
• Do not use with or expose this product to process liquids until capsule
temperature goes <40°C (104°F).
• Only use NaOH as sanitizing chemical and do not exceed 1M NaOH
concentration or 1-hour duration for sanitization.
• Do not pressurize the capsule more than 5 psi during introduction of NaOH
solution and static soak during sanitization.
• Do not expose the capsule to base sanitization chemicals more than 60 minutes.
• Use only 70% ethyl and/or isopropyl alcohol to wipe the exterior of the capsules.
• Do not use with or expose this product to pressurized steam or sanitizing
chemicals other than NaOH.
