    Safety Act of 1968 are required to furnish various reports to the CDRH. The Odyssey Fc Imager is certified as a Class I laser product. This means that hazardous laser radiation is not emitted outside the instrument. Radiation emitted inside the Odyssey Fc Imager is confined within protective housings and external covers.

  • Page 10: Safety Interlocks

    Where there is a potential for class 4 laser radiation behind a given panel, the label in Figure 1-4 is affixed to the panel. The label shown in Figure 1-4 is affixed to the Odyssey Fc Imager in two locations; one on top of the camera hood and one on the inner front access panel (Figure 1-3).

    Instrument Ventilation The air intake fan on the back of the Odyssey Fc Imager (Figure 2-4) is used to cool the internal electronics and maintain fresh air circulation throughout the internal volume of the instrument. The air intake is filtered and the filter should be periodically cleaned (see Maintenance on page 15).

    During an unexpected power loss, the drawer button will not function. This may leave a sample inside the Odyssey Fc Imager, or it may result in the imaging drawer being left partially open or closed. If the power remains off, the drawer can be opened or closed by pulling or pushing on the drawer front.
