Magnetic field hazards
STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD
Strong magnetic fields can influence the functioning of pacemakers or
electronic medical implants.
• If wearing pacemakers or electronic medical implants keep a distance of at
least 30 cm.
Magnetizable objects can suddenly move towards the magnet.
• Keep all magnetic storage devices, electronic equipment, and magnetizable
objects at a distance of at least 30 cm.
Mechanical hazards
CRUSH HAZARD
Risk of crushing.
The instrument may fall if it is not placed on a flat and even surface. This may
cause injury.
• Place the instrument only onto stable, even, and vibration free tables or
laboratory benches.
SHARP ELEMENTS
Risk of cutting.
Tubes
Unspecified sample containers (e.g. made of glass) may break. This may lead to
injury.
• Do not use sample containers made of glass.
• Do not pour off the supernatant, as the tube will fall out of the MACSxpress
Separator.
• Follow the protocol in the respective data sheet.
