Safety - Zoetis vetscan SA User Manual

Safety

The VETSCAN SA system is designed for maximum user safety and for indoor use only.
The plastic enclosures are made of thick injection-molded acrylic to create a leak-free test
environment. The safety metal cover surrounds the system to protect the user from exposure
to electrical current.
Before use, inspect the VETSCAN SA system for cracks and chips, which may allow the test
sample to leak from the tubes and cause a potential electrical hazard. Additionally, inspect all
electrical cables and plugs for loose connections, cracks, breaks or corrosion. Do not use any part
that is cracked, charred, or corroded. These parts may also cause a potential electrical hazard.
If leaking sample is detected, disconnect the power to the analyzer immediately.
Power to VETSCAN SA system is supplied by an external DC voltage power supply. All Zoetis's
power supplies have met the safety requirements. Zoetis supplies the recommended power
cords for this unit. Only use Zoetis supplied power supplies specified for the VETSCAN SA
system. Refer to Appendix for listings of power cords for your region.

discarded and replaced. Consider the toxicity of the chemicals and factors such as duration of
exposure, storage, and temperature when deciding to reuse chemically exposed gloves. Please
also consider local Occupational Safety and Health regulations.
