Do not disassemble, modify, or remove the installed laser or LED radiation sources. The laser or LED
radiation sources do not automatically stop emitting when disassembled. Radiation of disassembled
units may lead to eye injuries.

Chemical and biological hazards
Depending on the biological material used, contamination infection may lead to severe personal injury or
death. All clinical samples must be considered potentially infectious.
If biohazardous material is or has been used, the operator must choose and wear personal safety
equipment as indicated in the warnings and precautions for the particular substance. The above safety
precaution also accounts for any hazardous chemical, including toxic or corrosive chemicals, acidic or
radioactive substances that may be present in the sample.
Wear protective gloves and clothing, as well as safety glasses to prevent contact of the substance with skin and
eyes. Droplets might leak from the system. Protect mouth and nose if processing hazardous or potentially
infectious material that can be transmitted through the air. Defective or inadequate safety equipment is
hazardous. The instrument must be operated in a safety hood if hazardous or unknown material is being
processed. If hazardous material has been used or spilled, care must be taken to thoroughly decontaminate the
instrument. It is strictly prohibited to continue to handle contaminated accessories or parts of the instrument.
All liquid and solid waste must be considered hazardous and must be therefore handled taking universal
laboratory precautions. Waste disposal must be in accordance with any local regulations.
Before disposal, decontaminate all tubes and other consumables that were in contact with
biohazardous material. Liquid waste must be autoclaved or decontaminated using a disinfectant that is
appropriate for the specific pathogen, e.g., 10% bleach, isopropyl alcohol, or 70% ethanol.
Failure of parts containing biohazardous material or liquids that have been in contact with such materials could
cause a hazard.
Always inspect the fluidics system (complete tubing set, reservoirs, bottles and their closures, valves,
columns, diluters, peristaltic pumps, and uptake needle) before switching on the instrument. If leakage
has been detected, replace all damaged parts before switching on the instrument. If damaged part cannot be
replaced, unplug and do not use the instrument.
