The one year service includes: repair service delivery onsite; service response time within 48 hours or 2 business days; periodic onsite inspection/maintenance up to one year; full coverage repair on parts, labor, and travel included.

Service covers QIAgility HEPA/UV Instruments 10963, 2441, and 15850 (include laptop).

The Warranty or Service Agreement does not cover damage caused by service (i.e., repairs and preventative maintenances) performed by a third party , produced or modified by a third party, and if not maintained in accordance with the instructions contained in the Product operator’s manual.
