SECTION A2: IMPORTANT WARNINGS, LABELS and SYMBOLS
Failure to read the following sections may result in damage to the trophon EPR, disinfectant
cartridges or other equipment, or cause serious injury to the operator or other persons. If the
device is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the device may be impaired.
A2.1
Warnings
Hot Temperatures
Risk of burns from the hot surfaces in the internal chamber. Do NOT touch these
surfaces. A hot surface symbol is located inside the trophon EPR chamber as a
reminder.
Failure to correctly load the probe into the chamber may result in damage to the
probe. Probe must NOT come into contact with the chamber wall. Refer to section B2.3
for correct positioning of probe.
Malfunctions
Do NOT attempt to open the chamber door during a cycle or in the event of a power
failure or system malfunction (see section B5.1).
All repairs must be carried out by trained personnel ONLY. Do NOT attempt to repair or
modify any part of the device. The trophon EPR contains no end user serviceable parts.
Transporting the Device
The device weighs approximately 38lbs (17kg). Use safe lifting techniques as per your
Occupational Health and Safety Lifting Guidelines for your institution.
Do not move, relocate or transport the device if hydrogen peroxide is present; purge
the device before moving or relocation (See section B3).
Electrical Device
Equipment must be connected to an earthed power outlet. Ensure power cable
supplied with the device is used.
Spilled fluid can result in electrical shock. Do not allow any fluid to spill onto or around
the device or immerse any parts of the trophon EPR in liquid.
Connect the device only to an electrical source with the proper voltage and
frequency as specified in Appendix 1. If incorrect voltage is used, the device may be
damaged when it is switched on.
Attempting to open any component of the device to gain access to the internal
mechanics may result in electrical shock.
trophon Chemical Indicator
ONLY to be used with the trophon EPR. Do NOT use with non-approved devices.
Use one Chemical Indicator with every trophon EPR cycle.
Do NOT use damaged and/or out-of-date indicators.
Ensure indicator is red and not exposed before use.
More information can be found in the Chemical Indicator Instructions for Use, provided
