General safety instructions
If the instrument is not working properly and/or the displayed instructions or

is no longer possible. Immediately switch off and unplug the instrument from the
power outlet, and contact an authorized Miltenyi Biotec service provider or Miltenyi

Electricity and fire hazards
Electrical devices pose the risk of an electric shock. To reduce the risk of an
electric shock, do not open any cover other than the front access covers of the
autoMACS Pro Separator nor any other accessory hardware supplied by
Miltenyi Biotec. All other covers of the instrument and accessory hardware are to
be removed by authorized personnel only. Special care must be taken while
handling fluids. Clean up spillages immediately. Do not allow fluids to enter the
interior of the instrument. Unplug the power cord before manually cleaning the
autoMACS Pro Separator.
A potential risk exists if an opened, dropped, or damaged autoMACS Pro
Separator is used, if liquids are spilled into the instrument, if an object has
entered the instrument through the ventilation slots, or if an object has been
dropped into the instrument. If flames or smoke appear immediately switch OFF
the autoMACS Pro Separator, unplug the instrument from the electrical outlet, and
contact an authorized Miltenyi Biotec service provider or the Miltenyi Biotec
Customer Support team. Use of a damaged instrument or an instrument with a
damaged power cable is expressly prohibited.
The autoMACS Pro Separator is intended for indoor use only. Do not use the
instrument in areas classified as hazardous locations such as oxygenladen

stoves, or other pieces of equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Allow
sufficient air circulation around the autoMACS Pro Separator–at least 15 cm on all
sides–during operation to ensure adequate cooling of the instrument. Prevent direct
exposure of the instrument to sunlight. Slots and openings of the instrument are
provided for ventilation and should never be blocked or covered, as these ensure
reliable operation of the autoMACS Pro Separator and protect the instrument from
overheating. Never push a foreign object through an opening into the instrument.
Do not use the instrument in a wet or damp location. Avoid high humidity or
condensation and protect the machine against water splashes. Unplug the
autoMACS Pro Separator from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
