Abbott ID NOW NAT-024 Instrument User Manual page 11

Caution: Position the unit with clear access to connectors. Keep connected
cables clear of work areas such that tripping or catching will not pull the unit off
its work bench. The mains socket outlet intended for use with ID NOW power
supply should be located near the instrument and be readily accessible. Abbott
recommends that cables are disconnected when not in use for an extended
period.
Caution: USB and Ethernet Interfaces. If intended for connection to external
equipment, please ensure that interfaces of such equipment are separated from
mains by double or reinforced insulation and present no risk of electrical shock.
Caution: If any assay components are dropped, cracked, found to be damaged or
open when received, DO NOT USE and discard.
Caution: Due to the high sensitivity of the assays run on the instrument,
contamination of the work area with previous positive samples may cause false
positive results. Handle samples according to standard laboratory practices.
Clean instruments and surrounding surfaces according to instructions provided
in Section 1.6, Maintenance & Cleaning.
Caution: Once reacted, the Test Base contains large amounts of amplified
sample (Amplicon). Do not disassemble the Test Base and Transfer Cartridge.
In the case of a positive sample this could lead to amplicon leakage and potential
false positive ID NOW test results.
Caution: To avoid contamination, do not move the ID NOW Instrument during a
run or until all assay components have been removed from the instrument.
