SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Electrical Safety: Disconnect power before cleaning or changing dispersing shafts; do not immerse drive unit in liquid; keep power cord away from heat sources and sharp edges; use only properly grounded electrical outlets .
Aerosol Generation: High-speed homogenization may generate aerosols; use appropriate containment (biosafety cabinet, fume hood) when processing infectious materials, hazardous chemicals, or volatile solvents .
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear appropriate PPE—laboratory coat, safety glasses/face shield, gloves—when operating homogenizer; use cut-resistant gloves when handling and cleaning dispersing shafts .
Shaft Selection: Select appropriate dispersing shaft for sample volume; using smaller shaft in larger volume may reduce efficiency; using larger shaft in smaller volume may cause splashing and sample loss .
Sample Container: Use appropriate container (beaker, tube, vessel) with sufficient diameter and depth for dispersing shaft; avoid using flimsy or uncapped tubes .
Operation Precautions: Never operate homogenizer with shaft out of liquid; this may damage PTFE seals and cause overheating. Ensure shaft is fully immersed before starting motor. Do not process samples containing hard particles (glass, metal, hard plastics) that may damage rotor-stator assembly .
Noise Exposure: While ≤72 dB(A) is below occupational exposure limits, extended operation may cause fatigue; use hearing protection if operating for prolonged periods .
Sharp Edges: Dispersing shafts contain sharp rotor-stator edges; handle with care to avoid cuts .
Cleaning: Clean dispersing shafts immediately after use to prevent dried sample residue; do not use abrasive cleaners on shafts .
Training: Only trained laboratory personnel should operate the D-160 Handheld Homogenizer for clinical diagnostic applications .

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Sample Splash: If biological sample splashes into eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes, seek medical attention; if on skin, wash with soap and water .
Electrical Malfunction: If unit shows signs of electrical malfunction (smoke, burning smell, sparking), disconnect power immediately; do not attempt to operate; contact service personnel .
Mechanical Failure: If unit fails to operate, makes abnormal noise, or vibrates excessively, disconnect power, inspect shaft for damage or debris, contact service if issue persists .
Sharp Edge Injury: If cut by dispersing shaft, clean wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply appropriate dressing, seek medical attention if bleeding persists or wound is deep .
Chemical Spill: If corrosive chemicals spill on unit, disconnect power immediately, wipe with appropriate neutralizer, dry thoroughly before reconnecting power .

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: Plastic housing and electrical components may burn; AC carbon brush motor may produce sparks during normal operation .
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide (CO₂) or dry chemical extinguisher for electrical fires .
Fire Response: Unplug unit immediately; do not use water on electrical fire; if sparks or smoke are observed during normal operation, discontinue use and service unit .
