2. Application
The MPW-54 centrifuge is a bench-top non-automatic laboratory centrifuge. The device is intended for In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD). This means that it is an in vitro
diagnostic medical device – in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) of 5 April 2017 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices and repealing Directive 98/79/EC and Commission Decision 2010 /227/EU. The centrifuge is used to separate aqueous solutions and suspensions of samples with a density not higher than 1.2g/cm3 taken from human, animal and plant organisms into components of different densities under the influence of centrifugal force, in order to provide information about their biological state and to other analytical work. The design of the centrifuge ensures ease of use, safe operation and a wide range of applications in medical, biochemical and other analysis laboratories. The centrifuge is not biotight, therefore, when centrifuging preparations that require biotightness, containers and rotors with a biotightness certificate should be used.

4.3. Consumable Materials

Only original MPW buckets can be used! One should use tubes which dimensions, and durability is proper! Using of tubes from other companies should be consulted with manufacturer of centrifuge. In the centrifuge, disinfectants and cleaning agents generally used in medical care should be used (e.g., Aerodesina-2000, Lysoformin 3000, Melseptol, Melsept SF, Sanepidex, Cutasept F).

4.4. Location
The device should be lifted from below near its feet and placed directly on a suitable laboratory table.
The centrifuge should be set so that access to the power switch is not difficult. Do not place the centrifuge near heaters and avoid direct sunlight. The table on which the centrifuge is placed should be stable and have a flat,
leveled top. A protection zone of at least 30 cm on all sides should be provided around the
centrifuge. The ambient temperature for normal operating conditions of the centrifuge is given in section Environmental conditions. When changing the place from cold to warm, water condensation inside the centrifuge will occur. It is important to allow sufficient time for drying before restarting the centrifuge (minimum 4 hours). The supply voltage must match the voltage specified on the rating plate. Laboratory centrifuges by “MPW MED. INSTRUMENTS” are devices with a basic safety class and have a three-wire connection cord with a plug resistant to dynamic loads. The power socket should have a protective pin. It is recommended to install an emergency switch located far from the centrifuge near the exit from the room or outside the room.
Before switching on, check if the centrifuge is properly connected to the power supply.
Only the power cord recommended by the manufacturer may be used.

5. Safety notes

5.1. General remarks

The laboratory centrifuge may be operated only by qualified laboratory personnel,

after reading the operating manual.

The operating instructions are part of the product.

The operating manual should always be kept in the vicinity of the centrifuge.

The centrifuge cannot be operated contrary to its purpose.

If the centrifuge is used in a manner inconsistent with the manufacturer’s

guidelines, the safety of its use may be impaired.

For centrifugation in the centrifuge, only containers and inserts provided in the list

of equipment and centrifuge tubes, the diameter, length and strength of which are

appropriate, should be used. The use of test tubes not included in the list should be

agreed with MPW MED. INSTRUMENTS or its authorized representatives.

Pay attention to the quality and appropriate thickness of the glass test tubes walls.

Glass tubes should be centrifuge tubes, and their use in the centrifuge should be

made dependent on the following guidelines:

glass tubes

max RCF in angular rotors

5-10 ml

3000 x g

30-100 ml

spinning not allowed

Weighing the filled test tubes into the rotor is recommended. This will allow to

minimize the differences in mass between them, and as a result to avoid the

negative impact of vibrations on the engine suspension and to reduce noise levels

during the operation of the centrifuge.

5.2. Placing the rotor and accessories in the centrifuge
Connect the centrifuge to the power supply (mains socket at the back of the centrifuge).
Turn on the centrifuge (switch on the side of the centrifuge). Open the cover of the centrifuge by pressing the COVER key. Before installing the
rotor, check that the rotating chamber is free from any contamination. If there is
dust, glass splinters, liquid residues, etc., remove them. The rotor can fall if not handled properly, therefore it should always be handled and
placed in the centrifuge using both hands. Place the rotor on the motor axis by sliding it onto the cone as far as it will go
(keeping the coaxiality between the rotor and the motor axis). Screw the screw fixing the rotor into the motor axis (clockwise), and then tighten it
firmly with the rotor key. Fill the rotor with containers / hangers / test tubes according to recommendations in
section Filling the rotor. In order to replace the rotor, first remove the tubes and containers from it, unscrew
the screw fixing the rotor with the enclosed rotor key, counterclockwise, then using
both hands, grab the rotor on opposite sides and remove it from the motor axis. Install another rotor as described above instructions.

5.3. Filling tubes Fill test tubes outside the centrifuge.

Centrifugation force

centrifuged substance

If the manufacturer of the test tube has not specified the maximum level, fill the test tubes so that the centrifuged substance does not run out of the vessel during centrifugation. To do this, use the formula below:
A

C B

A ­ internal tube diameter B ­ tube height C ­ max liquid level

5.4. Filling the rotor
CAUTION!
Angle rotors must be used with a suitable cover which must be screwed securely onto the rotor. The rotor and the cover are marked with the same catalog number (REF) to eliminate the risk of incorrect selection when you have several types of rotors.
Check that the impeller is seated correctly and firmly bolted to the motor shaft. Do not exceed the maximum rotor load (information is provided on the rotor).
An example of the marking on the angular rotor:

MAX. 24×2,4g – means the possibility of placing 24 test tubes in the rotor, each weighing 2.4 g.
To ensure symmetrical loading, insert test tubes of the same type and weight in pairs into opposite openings of the rotor. If reduction inserts are used, they should also be placed in the holes opposite to each other in pairs of the same type.

Examples of correct and incorrect arrangement of test tubes in the rotor:
5.5. Safety hints ROTOR MAINTENANCE
In order to increase the durability of gaskets, threaded places, rotor pins, undercuts for pins in containers, they must be cleaned, and then it is necessary to lubricate them with the technical petroleum jelly supplied with the device (catalog number 17201).
Use only accessories that are in good technical condition. HU EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Make sure the sealing rings (rubber) are lightly coated with grease to maintain tightness. Use high vacuum silicone grease, eg type “C” by LUBRINA.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Infectious materials should be centrifuged only in containers / rotors with covers. It is not allowed to centrifuge toxic or infectious materials if the rotor or test tube
seal is damaged. Appropriate disinfection procedures should always be carried out, if hazardous
substances have contaminated the centrifuge or its accessories. EXPLOSIVE, FLAMMABLE MATERIALS It is not allowed to centrifuge explosive and inflammable materials. Do not centrifuge substances that could create a potentially explosive atmosphere
as a result of the high energy supply during centrifugation. The centrifuge must not be used in an explosive atmosphere. It is not allowed to centrifuge materials that may generate flammable or explosive
mixtures when exposed to air.

5.6. Operating conditions
GENERAL REMARKS Only original equipment of centrifuges and spare parts should be used. In case of a malfunction of the centrifuge, the MPW MED factory service should
be used. INSTRUMENTS or its authorized representatives. It is not allowed to start the centrifuge if it is not installed correctly or the rotor
and accessories are not properly mounted. The centrifuge must not be transported with the rotor installed on the motor
shaft. Fill the rotor equipment to the same weight in order to prevent unbalance of the
centrifuge (point Filling the rotor).
START-UP Before switching on the device, carefully read all sections of this manual in order
to ensure the correct operation of the device and to avoid damage to the device or its accessories.
CENTRIFUGAL SUBSTANCES Rotors are designed for centrifuging liquids with an average density of 1.2 g / cm3
or less. This applies to centrifugation at maximum speed. If liquids with a higher density are to be used, be sure to enter the density value in the PARAM / DENSITY tab in order to reduce the available spin speed. 5.7. Equipment life Each spin cycle in which the rotor has accelerated and decelerated is considered a duty cycle, independent of speed and duration. Do not use the equipment after the allowable after the maximum service life – 5 years. 5.8. Work safety
The centrifuge should be inspected by an authorized service at least once a year (after the warranty period). Special circumstances, e.g., corrosive environment, may be the reason for more frequent checks. Tests should end with issuing a validation protocol, which specifies checking the technical condition of a laboratory centrifuge.
It is recommended to create a document that records all repairs and inspections. This document should be kept in the place where the centrifuge is used.
CONTROLS CONDUCTED BY THE OPERATOR The operator must pay attention to the fact that the parts of the centrifuge,
important from the safety point of view, are not damaged. This remark applies to:
11

Centrifuge accessories, especially structural changes, corrosion, initial cracks, abrasion of metal parts.
Bolted connections. Inspection of rotor and container seals, if any. Particular attention should be paid to
rubber elements (seals). In the event of any damage or visible structural changes, they should be immediately replaced with new ones. Control of the performance of annual post-warranty inspections of the technical condition of the centrifuge. During centrifugation, it is not allowed to lift, shift the centrifuge or rest on it. During centrifugation one must not stay in the safety zone, i.e., 30 cm distance around the centrifuge, nor leave any objects, e.g., glass vessels, inside this zone. It is not allowed to put any objects on the centrifuge. OPENING THE COVER DURING SPINNING It is not allowed to use the emergency cover opening during centrifuging, because it may result in loss of health or life. HANDLING OF ROTORS It is not allowed to use accessories (rotors, lids, containers, hangers and round carriers) with signs of corrosion or other mechanical damage. It is not allowed to centrifuge substances of high corrosive aggressiveness, which may damage the materials and reduce the mechanical properties of rotors, buckets and round carriers. It is not allowed to centrifuge rotors with removed or loose covers. 5.9. Residual risk The centrifuge is built according to the state-of-the-art and the recognized safety regulations. Nevertheless, still remain some level of residual risk due to improper operation and malfunctions. It is possible to decrease residual risk by strictly applying user manual conditions and correcting malfunction which could threaten safety, immediately. 5.10.

8. Maintenance
8.1. Cleaning of the centrifuge
Pull the mains plug before cleaning. Before any cleaning or decontamination process other than that is
recommended by the manufacturer, the user has to ask the manufacturer if the planned process does not damage the device For cleaning, water with soap or other water-soluble mild detergent shall be used. One should avoid corrosive and aggressive substances. It is prohibited to use alkaline solutions, inflammable solvents or agents containing abrasive particles. Do not lubricate the centrifuge motor shaft. The unused centrifuge should have cover opened.
Once a week Using wiping cloth, remove condensate or residues of the products from the rotor chamber.
Once a month Check the condition of the rotor mounting screw thread. If damaged, it must be
replaced. Check the centrifuging chamber whether it is damaged. In case of damage, it
cannot be longer put into operation. Notify authorized service workshop.
8.2. Maintenance of centrifuge elements
In order to increase the durability of threaded places, they should be lubricated with technical petroleum jelly.
Make sure that the sealing rings (rubber) are covered with a thin layer of technical petroleum jelly in order to maintain tightness (catalog number 17201 – element of basic equipment).
Cleaning of the equipment
In order to ensure safe operation, one shall carry out in regular way periodical maintenance of the accessories.
Rotors, buckets, and round carriers have to withstand high stresses originating from the centrifugal force. Chemical reactions as well as corrosion (combination of variable pressure and chemical reactions) can cause destruction of metals. Hard to observe surface cracks increase gradually and weaken material without visible symptoms.
In case of observation of surface damage, crevice, or other change, as well as the corrosion, the given part (rotor, bucket, etc.) shall be immediately replaced.
17

The rotor, including the fixing screw, buckets and round carriers must be regularly
cleaned to prevent corrosion. Cleaning of the accessories shall be carried out outside of the centrifuge once
every week or still better after each use. For cleaning them one should use neutral
agent of pH value 6÷8. It is forbidden to use alkaline agent of pH > 8. Then, those parts shall be dried using soft fabric or in the chamber drier at ca. 50°C. Angle rotor should be placed on a fabric with holes facing down, for effective
drying. Do not use bleach on plastic parts of the rotor. In this way, the useful service life of the device is substantially increased and
susceptibility to corrosion is diminished. Accurate maintenance increases the
service life as well and protects against premature rotor failures. Do not use bleach on plastic parts of the rotor. According to laboratory standards, minimize the immersion time in each solution. Especially prone to the corrosion are parts made of aluminium. Corrosion and damages resulting from insufficient maintenance could not be
subject of claims lodged against the manufacturer. The unused rotor should have the lid removed.

HS accessories maintenance (HU):
Check the general condition of seals. Make sure that rubber O-rings are lightly coated with silicone grease. Use high
vacuum grease, e.g., type ,,C” by LUBRINA. In order to maintain hermetic sealing, it is recommended to replace the sealing
rings after each autoclaving. Store hermetically sealed rotors and buckets with the lids removed.

8.4. Autoclaving
Rotors, buckets, and round carriers can be sterilized in autoclave with temperature 121°C during 20 min (215 kPa), unless otherwise specified in the OPTIONAL ACCESSORY.
During sterilization (autoclaved) by means of steam one should consider temperature resistance of individual materials.
Deformation of the accessories (carriers or lids made of plastic) may occur during autoclaving. Do not autoclave disposable materials (e.g., tubes, cyto- container). The life of the accessory depends on the frequency of autoclaving and use. Autoclaving reduces lifespan of plastic components. They should be replaced if any signs of
damage are visible, including a change in colour or shape or when leakage etc. Pressure in closed containers can cause plastic deformation or explosion. Prior to autoclaving the rotors and accessories, thoroughly wash and rinse with distilled water. Never exceed the permissible autoclaving temperature and time. If you want to keep the hermetic seals, replace the sealing rings after each autoclave.
