purifi cation media, and b) nullifi cation of Supplier's USP<88> Class VI compliance
of fi lter capsule components:
• Use the installation procedure specifi ed in Operation Instructions.
• The capsule must be subjected to a preconditioning fl ush prior to use. Use the
procedure specifi ed in Operation Instructions.
2
• At least 54 L/m
preconditioning fl ush volume.
• Carry out preconditioning fl ush procedures of 3M™ Zeta Plus™ capsules and
3M™ Emphaze™ AEX Hybrid Purifi er capsules separately.
• After pre-use NaOH sanitization, fl ush the system with appropriate aqueous buff er
until the pH range of 5 to 9 has been attained and monitor the pH of the capsule
effl uent to determine when the baseline has been reached (e.g., ± 0.5 pH units
from the pH of the buff er used to fl ush the media).
• Capsules are designed for single use only. Do not reuse.
• Do not store capsules under conditions outside of the recommended storage
temperature range.
• Do not use past the expiration date.
• Do not use with organic solvents or fl ammable liquids.
• Use only with aqueous based process fl uids in the pH range of 5 to 9.
• Use only alkaline resistant capsule and manifold sets.
• Do not use with or expose this product to hot liquids >40°C (104°F).
• Perform all required maintenance on or before its scheduled date and always use
specifi ed replacement parts in the Service & Maintenance Details.
• Do not use the product on unleveled surfaces.
• Do not gamma or ethylene oxide sterilize the capsules.
• Do not steam-in-place sterilize the capsules.
• Only expose the capsule to 1 sterilization or 1 sanitization cycle prior to use.
• Do not autoclave and base sanitize the same capsule prior to use.
• Do not autoclave or base sanitize polycarbonate based capsules and manifolds
with the following part numbers BV800 (EMP710AEX020A) and BV5600
(EMP770AEX020A).
• During pre-use autoclave sterilization do not exceed a temperature of 121°C or a
duration longer than 30 minutes BV800R (EMP710AEX020R), and 40 minutes for
BV5600R (EMP770AEX020R).
• 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 NaOH sanitize 3M Emphaze AEX Hybrid Purifi er and 3M Zeta Plus
Encapsulated capsules together in series.
• Use only 70% ethyl and/or isopropyl alcohol to wipe the exterior of the capsules
and manifolds.
• Do not use with or expose this product to pressurized steam or sanitizing
chemicals other than NaOH.
