1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 IMPORTANT
Each Milestone’s unit is accurately tested before leaving the manufacturing plant and is
provided with Quality Test Certificate.
However, to ensure long and safe operation of the system, proper use along with accurate
service is required.

This manual is ONLY a reference guide for K O S Service.


Before operating, it is strictly necessary to attend a training course
with a Milestone SERVICE specialist.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY


BEFORE OPERATING ON THE UNIT

Warranty claims can be made only if the KOS has been used for the specified applications
and operated according to the instructions included in the USER MANUAL and in this
manual. Damage resulting from inappropriate handling and/or misuse of the product will
invalidate the warranty.

Milestone cannot assume liability for any such damage.

Milestone owns the copyright on this document and any associated software.

Milestone is ISO 9001 certified.

1.2 BIOLOGICAL AND HYGIENE WARNINGS

This instrument is a medical device and is installed in environment where there is


presence of blood, tissue and other biological tissues. For safety reasons, it is required
that the device is cleaned and disinfected before entering in contact with it.

Also you should put gloves when you touch it.

In addition it is required that the unit is cleaned and disinfected before sending it to
MILESTONE HEADQUARTER.
Not disinfected devices will be no longer accepted and you will be contacted to get the
relative disinfection cost.

In any case, international health rules forbid shipments in standard packages of


biohazard materials (risk of sanctions).

Milestone S.r.l. Rev. 00/2009


KOS Service Manual 9

1.3 GENERAL WARNINGS


The following rules must be strictly followed in order to operate under safe conditions and
avoid any risk of accidents:

a) Always disconnect the unit from the main power supply before doing any repairs.
b) Before switching on the unit after each repair, it is necessary to make sure that:
1. All the internal connections are correctly fixed;
2. All the cables are insulated and do not get in contact with either the door or sharp
edges of the unit;
3. Both the electrical and mechanical connections are virtually faultless;
4. No modification has been made to the built-in safety devices;
5. The spare parts are those recommended by manufacturer;
6. Do not operate the unit if the slightest doubt exists that the unit is not properly
working.
7. Be sure that the ground wire for the power cable is connected to the ground
terminal on the facility side, also be sure that the ground wire for the instrument
interior is connected to a protecting ground terminal.
c) The microwaves generated inside the KOS unit have a frequency of 2450MHz and
reach the highest absorption in aqueous matrices causing a rapid increase in temperature.
This may represent a danger for the operator; therefore avoid any exposure to the
microwave field generated by the magnetron.
d) Inside the KOS there are 2 permanent magnets but the magnetic field does not leak
from the machine; in any case we recommend that service people with pace maker do not
open the Kos lateral windows.
e) Some parts of the instrument became hot during operation, when access these
parts, check if they are cooled sufficiently or wear protective gloves.
f) The reagents or paraffin in the instruments may remain hot, be careful when using a
retort or a pipe.
g) The iron panels in the instruments may have sharp edges, be careful when touch
these parts, pay attention to prevent injury.
h) Pathogenic organisms may remain inside the instrument (particularly in the retorts,
pumps, tubes and other parts that come in contact with the reagents). Wear protective
groves to prevent infection. When the work is finished wash your hands thoroughly.
i) Pay attention to the work environment and provide ventilation to prevent poisoning
due to the presence of solvents
j) Reagents are combustible, so never bring them close to sources or flame or fire.
k) The instructions accompanied by the following symbols are of particular importance
in ensuring the engineer’s safety. Be sure to check the content of each instruction before
hand and perform all work in observance of the instructions.
l) The instructions accompanied by the following symbols are of particular importance
in ensuring the engineer’s safety. Be sure to check the content of each instruction before
hand and perform all work in observance of the instructions.
m) Do not install KOS near:
• Heat sources
• U.V.ray
• sunrays
