Prevent exposure to chemicals used in the operation and maintenance of the
CELL-DYN 3200 System (including reagents) by using appropriate personal
protective equipment, work procedures, and information on Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS). Refer to Section 2: Installation Procedures and Special
Requirements for an installation procedure for chemical containers.
Basic electrical hazard awareness is essential to the safe operation of any
hematology analyzer. To ensure safe operation of the CELL-DYN 3200 System:
• Periodically inspect electrical cabling into and on the instrument for signs of
wear or damage.
• When moving equipment, lift all power cables clear of all system components.
CAUTION: Electrical Hazard. Do not disconnect any electrical connec-
tion while the power is on. Follow instructions for correctly powering down
the instrument and all connected equipment before performing maintenance
on parts which require protective covers to be removed for access. Use only
approved power cords and electrical accessories, supplied with the instru-
ment, or provided by Abbott, to protect against electrical shock.
CAUTION: Electrical Hazard. Turn off the power to the instrument and
disconnect the power cord before removing any instrument panel that is
securely fastened in place by screws or prior to replacing fuses. Replace
only the externally accessible fuse located immediately above the power
cord connector on the rear panel of the instrument. Use replacement fuses
only of the specified type and electrical rating.
• Keep liquids away from all electrical connectors (such as electrical outlets)
or communication connectors (such as the LIS connector).
• Keep the floor dry.
• The electrical circuit spacing of the CELL-DYN 3200 System is based on
pollution degree (1) and altitude [up to 2000 M (6500 ft)] as per IEC
61010-1. Pollution degree 1 is defined as an environment where there is no
pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution.
CAUTION: If the instrument is used or modified in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the instrument may be
impaired.
