Laser Product Hazard Classification

The intent of the laser hazard classification is to identify hazards to users posed by the laser and to
provide appropriate protective measures. The ZE5 Cell Analyzer is a Class 1 laser product that
complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,
dated June 24, 2007 stating that operators are not exposed to harmful levels of laser radiation during
normal operation, maintenance, and/or service. During times of repair and/or major service by a
trained technician, laser safety controls for Class 3B lasers must be followed.
WARNING! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

Electrical Safety Information and Classification

The ZE5 Cell Analyzer conforms to international regulations encompassing the accessibility of high
voltages by the user (IEC61010-1). Use all protective housings and shields as specified in this guide.
Further information about specific electrical hazards is listed in the hardware description.
