WARNING! LASER HAZARD. Under normal operating conditions, the
™
GeneTitan Scanner is categorized as a Class 1 laser product. However,
removing the protective covers and (when applicable) defeating the interlocks
can result in exposure to the internal Class 2 (II) laser. Lasers can burn the
retina, causing permanent blind spots. To ensure safe laser operation:
·
Never look directly into the laser beam.
·
Do not remove safety labels, instrument protective panels, or defeat safety
interlocks.
·
The system must be installed and maintained by a Thermo Fisher Scientific
Technical Representative.
·
Remove jewelry and other items that can reflect a laser beam into your eyes
or those eyes of others.
·
Wear proper eye protection and post a laser warning sign at the entrance to
the laboratory if the laser protection is defeated for servicing.
· DO NOT operate the laser when it cannot be cooled by its cooling fan; an
overheated laser can cause severe burns on contact.
The following table lists laser safety symbols and alerts that may be present on the
instrument.
CAUTION! Class 2 (II) visible and/or invisible laser radiation present when open
and interlocks defeated. Do not stare directly into the beam or view directly with
optical instruments.
