• The instrument can become contaminated with blood during use. Operators

cartridge, and peripherals to protect themselves from blood-borne pathogens
and pathogens from other body substances. Standard precautions, such as
the wearing of gloves, are designed to protect personnel from blood-borne
pathogens and pathogens from other body substances. These precautions
are based on the assumption that blood, body fluids, and tissue can contain
infectious agents and should therefore be treated as biohazardous materials.
