Read the user instructions completely. The manual explains how to operate and handle

the HeatPAC (7900046). In case manual instructions are not followed, injury or product

damage cannot be excluded.

Missing or insufficient knowledge of the manual leads to loss of liability against

INHECO GmbH.

This manual is part of the HeatPAC and must be retained until the device is disposed of

and must be passed on with the HeatPAC when the device is taken over by a new user.

The HeatPAC meets the acknowledged rules of technology and comply with today‘s

standards.

Manual instructions must be followed in order to ensure safe handling of the device.

Security-related warnings in this manual are classified into three hazard levels:

- The signal word WARNING indicates hazards which – without precautionary

measures – can result in serious injury or even death.

- The signal word CAUTION indicates hazards which – without precautionary

measures – can result in minor to moderate injuries

- The signal word NOTE stands for general precautionary measures that are to be

observed to avoid damaging the device when using it.

- The signal word NOTICE stands for necessary measures that should be followed to

avoid damaging the device when using it.

Contact INHECO in case there are any uncertainties of how to operate or how to handle

the HeatPAC.

The warranty period starts on the date of shipment. Any damage caused by operating

the HeatPAC outside the specifications and guidelines leads to the loss of warranty.

Broken seals on INHECO lead to the loss of warranty as well.

INHECO accepts only devices for inspection or repair which were not exposed to

human or animal blood or fluids, chemical or biological fluids except of device which

have been effectively decontaminated according to corresponding decontamination

methods. → Decontamination and Cleaning, page 20ff..

Devices exposed to Biosafety level 3 and 4 Environments or radioactive or radiation

materials are not accepted by INHECO for return.

The INHECO HeatPAC is a very compact unit with super low height of only 40 mm at

disposable contact surface. This low height makes it ideal for liquid handling

workstations with limited space between the pipetting head and the heating block,

eliminating the need for cut-outs and enabling the use of deepwell disposables. Its

footprint is hardly bigger than a microplate, most ANSI/SLAS (formerly SBS) listed

disposables can be fitted. The system is also suited for the heating of tubes and other

carrier formats. Cable routings are flexible, allowing the cable either to exit downwards,

sideways or lengthways. The unit is a ready-to-install high performance resistance

heater device, CE and UL certified.

A wide range of thermal adapter plates (inserts, nests) to match the required disposable

are available. Adapter plates and positioner can be easily taken down for cleaning, or

changed to another configuration within minutes.

The HeatPAC device is mostly used on robotic platforms and systems in Lab

Automation.

The HeatPAC can be operated with two types of precise temperature controllers with

integrated power supply (MTC or STC). The units are plug-and-play high performance

heating devices with CE and UL certification.

The HeatPAC is designed specifically for use in Life Science and In Vitro Diagnostics. It

is prepared for easy integration into IVD applications, but the final IVD validation has to

be performed by the first marketer (IVD application).

When using the HeatPAC in a Biosafety Laboratory Environment, the user is responsible

for labeling the devices according to the WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual (ISBN 92

4154650 6) and for operating the devices according to this Biosafety Manual.

The HeatPAC must be used exclusively by laboratory professionals trained in laboratory

techniques with labautomation systems and having studied the instructions for use of

this instrument as well as the instructions of the workstation the device is used in.

The identification label with part number and serial number also contains important

technical indications. The electrical specification on the label must meet your local

situation. The label is placed on the front of the HeatPAC. The identification label must

not be removed. If it has become illegible or falls off, it has to be replaced by a new

identification label. New labels can be ordered at INHECO. In case the label is missing

and you do not know the part number and serial number, they can also be read out with

the software (MTC/STC Demo Tool) which can be downloaded from our login section

Follow the safety instructions given below in order to avoid danger for user and device.



- The main power switch of the TEC Control Unit (STC / MTC) must always be

accessible.

- The HeatPAC hardly requires any maintenance, except Cleaning → page 20

- The HeatPAC has to be placed in an upright position.

- Do not exceed minimum or maximum ambient temperature and humidity conditions

during operation or storage of the HeatPAC → Technical Data, page 9

- The HeatPAC must not be used in environments with risk of explosion

- The HeatPAC is for indoor use only.

- The HeatPAC can burn your skin. Even after switching off the TEC Control Unit, the

connected device can still be hot and could seriously burn your skin as the material‘s

temperature can reach up to +135°C [+275°F] . It takes a while to cool down after the

device has been used.

:

- The HeatPAC must not be used if the device itself or the power cable shows visible

signs of damage.

- You can suffer an electric shock and injuries, if the HeatPAC is not connected properly

or if you do not disconnect the device from the TEC Control Unit outlet before opening

the housing.

- Never connect or remove the power plug with wet hands.

- Original power cable provided by INHECO has to be used to guarantee safe and

proper operation.

- The wall power outlet must have a ground earth connection (Safety Class 1).

- Where an ungrounded receptacle is encountered, a qualified electrician must replace

it with a properly (PE) grounded receptacle in accordance with the local electrical

code.

- Make sure that the electrical specification on the identification label at the side panel

meets your local situation. → Labels, page 8.
