Introduction

Bruker instruments are designed and produced to offer continuously reproducible high-level performance. For this, regular maintenance is required. It is the responsibility of the System Owner to care for regular checks and planned maintenance to ensure safe and qualified operation of the instrument. In some countries, proof of these activities is required by the local authorities.

The following sections distinguish maintenance actions that

▪: can and are to be performed by the users: Cleaning and Disinfection and Regular Checks.

▪: are to be performed by Bruker Service: Safety Checks, Reliability Checks and Tasks, and Operational Qualification.

▪: are to be performed by an even more specialized team called Bruker Magnet Service: Magnet Service (MR instruments).

It is recommended that the System Owner designates a staff member to be responsible to perform and document the Regular Checks.

Bruker Service tasks have to be performed by qualified¹⁾ and authorized²⁾ service engineers only. Service may be ordered at Bruker Service & Life Cycle Support that offers a complete range of service packages related to maintenance and repair of your instrument.
