Laser hazard
Reporting problems with the Bravo
Platform
If your Bravo Platform is fitted with a barcode reader, make sure you
understand the potential hazard. The barcode reader on the Bravo Platform
might contain a laser used to read barcodes. The laser beam will not harm
your skin, so there is no danger in exposing your arms or hands to the beam.
However, you could damage your eyes if you stare directly into the beam.
Barcode readers emit light for up to 0.5 seconds only when taking a reading.
The potential hazard is present only during protocol runs. When a microplate
is being read, the beam should not pass beyond the microplate.
WARNING
Class II laser hazard. Do not look directly at the laser beam. Looking
directly at the laser beam can result in serious eye injury.
WARNING
Do not disassemble the barcode reader sensor heads. Laser emission from
the reader is not automatically stopped if the sensor head is disassembled.
