5.10 Storage of Printing Materials
5.10.1 Storage and Transport Conditions
Store containers of model and support materials, indoors, in a dry area
with adequate ventilation and with the temperature kept between 16–27
degrees Celsius (60–81 degrees Fahrenheit). Similarly, transportation of
these materials requires a dry environment kept between 16–27 degrees
Celsius (60–81 degrees Fahrenheit).
Printing materials are combustible. Never expose printing materials to
flames, heat or sparks. Printing materials should be stored in conformance
with applicable fire department and insurance company regulations and
other applicable laws, regulations, codes and guidelines.
5.10.2 Shelf Life
Alaris printing materials can be used until the expiry date indicated on the
container, provided that the container is undamaged. Inventory
provisions should be made to insure that containers with the closest
expiry date are used first.
5.10.3 Printing Material Containers
Printing materials for Alaris printers are supplied in UV‐proof containers.
When a container is not in use, the container must be capped to protect the
material from contamination and stray UV radiation. In addition, keeping
a container capped minimizes the risk of accidental spillage of the
material.
5.11 Fire Control
A gas fire extinguisher should be used in case of fire in or near the system.
Other extinguishers are also acceptable, but the use of liquid fire
extinguishers must be avoided. (Contact your local fire authorities for
recommendations.)
If the printing materials are not stored under the recommended conditions, their
effective life is shortened.
Plastic containers made from monomer-soluble materials such as polystyrene or
polyvinyl chloride should not be used for the storage of spilled material.
