Hazards

The following hazard warnings are provided to help avoid injury:
Warning! Power Rating
to a power receptacle that provides voltage and current within the specified rating
for the system. Use of an incompatible power receptacle may produce electrical
shock and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding
primary power to the external power supply. Use of an adapter disconnects the
utility ground, creating a severe shock hazard. Always connect the power supply
directly to an appropriate receptacle with a functional ground.
Warning! Internal Voltage
power supply before cleaning the outer surface of the instrument.
Warning! Liquids
components creates a potential for shock hazard or instrument damage. If a spill

Wipe up all spills immediately. Do not operate the instrument if internal
components have been exposed to fluid.
Warning! Unspecified Use
guidelines and safeguards specified in this manual could result in a hazardous
condition.
Warning! Software Quality Control
manufacturer's assay package insert when modifying software parameters and
establishing reading methods. Failure to conduct quality control checks could result
in erroneous test data.
Warning! Reader Data Reduction Protocol
absorbance data. All information exported via computer control must be thoroughly
analyzed by the operator.
Warning! Potential Biohazards
biohazard. Adequate safety precautions should be taken as outlined in the assay's
package insert. Always wear safety glasses and appropriate protective equipment,
such as chemically resistant rubber gloves and an apron.
