SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the silicone adapter, housing, and filter are compatible with the solvents and reagents being used.
Proper Pipette Fit: Always ensure the serological pipette is securely inserted into the silicone adapter before use to prevent leakage or inaccurate volume aspiration.
Filter Integrity: Check that the hydrophobic filter is properly seated and dry before operation. A clogged or saturated filter will reduce suction performance and must be replaced.
Charging: Use only the supplied AC power adapter and stand to charge the lithium-ion battery. Do not leave the battery on charge indefinitely.
Autoclaving: Never attempt to autoclave the entire unit. Only the removable silicone adapter and nose cone are autoclavable.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Sample Splash: If a biological or chemical sample splashes onto the skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If a splash enters the eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Chemical Exposure: If a large volume of a hazardous chemical is aspirated, refer to the specific chemical's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed first-aid instructions.
Mechanical Injury: If a pipette tip punctures the skin (sharps injury), wash the wound thoroughly and follow your facility's exposure management protocol for bloodborne pathogens.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: The plastic components are combustible. The primary fire risk comes from the flammable reagents being used in the laboratory.
Extinguishing Media: Use a multi-purpose ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher, CO₂, or alcohol-resistant foam for fires involving electrical equipment or flammable liquids.
