! Common Safety Issues
Please read the Instruction Manual entirely prior operating your analysis system. In
order to ensure a high level of performance, all warnings and references to technical
safety in this document must be followed.
! 1 Hazards and Precautions
The cautions and safety regulations in this Instruction Manual meet international classi-
cations:
Danger - Electrical hazards
Warns of a risk of injury or of a risk to life (for example by electrical
shock).
Danger – Mechanical hazards
Warns of a risk of injury or of a risk to life.
Warns of a risk of injury or of the analyser being severely damaged.
Danger - Biohazard
Warns of a risk of biological material like blood or other human or ani-
mal specimen. Risk of infection! Potential infectious area/material!
Danger - Toxic substances
Warns of a risk of a serious intoxication!
Skin irritation
Inammable substance
Introduces rules to be observed
The following safety issues have to be observed at all times:

User’s Guide MLB242-V1
Electrical safety
- Check that the operating voltage is set correctly before you
connect the device to the main power supply.
- To connect the analyzer to the main power supply, use only
sockets which are grounded to avoid the risk of an electrical
shock.
- Use only grounded extension power cords. The used power
cord has to correspond to the country specic regulations.
- Never intentionally disconnect the grounding contacts.
- There is the risk of electrical shock if the protective conduc-
tor is interrupted within or outside the analyzer, and/or the
grounded contacts have been disconnected from the line.
- Never remove protective guards or secured components since
you could expose electrically live parts in this way.
- Electrical connection contacts (plugs, sockets, etc.) can be
electrically live.
- Even after an analyzer has been switched o, components
(e.g. capacitors) can be under voltage as the result of an elec-
trical charge.
- All current carrying parts are sources of danger for an electri-
cal shock.
- Surfaces (oors, work tables) have not to be moist when you
are working with any electrical device.
- Carry out only the maintenance work and/or the replacement
of parts described in this document.
- Unauthorized work on the analyzer can lead to the guarantee
obligation becoming null and void with necessary expensive
service work to correct it.
- All work, which requires the analyzer to be opened, have to be
carried out by an authorized technician who is familiar with the
risks related thereto.

Mechanical
Safety
Analyzer is operating
- Never open or unscrew analyzer’s casing parts while it is
switched ON. There is a risk of injury due to moving parts as
fans, pumps, motors or any other mechanical movements.
Biological Ma-
terial
Risk of Infection
- Wear gloves in all cases if there is a risk of infection.
- Avoid any direct contact with samples that are potentially in-
fectious. On cdR analyzers normally the reagents used togeth-
er with sample materials to test are not potential infectious.
In case of a contamination, immediately use a suitable skin
disinfection solution. Ask your doctor for aid.
- If sample material or reagent is spilled onto the analyzer, wipe
it o immediately and refer to the chapter !2 Maintenance and
Hygiene.
- Do not open a waste bottle as long as the analyzer is in pro-
cess.
Reagents and
Controls
- Observe the suggestions in the package inserts for an exact
use of the reagents and quality controls. Note that reagents
and quality control material can be biological material!
- Don’t use Reagents, Controls and other Liquids after expira-
tion date!
- Avoid any liquid penetration into the analyzer.
Restrictions Samples, Reagents and Controls
- For consumables no guarantee can be provided for any re-
sistance against organic solvents. For this reason, do not use
any organic solvents unless such solvents are expressly indi-
cated.
- Do not use any other rinsing or cleaning solutions as recom-
mended by the manufacturer or representative.
- Waste liquid has to be disposed in compliance with the legis-
lation.

Quality Accuracy and Precision of the measured results
- In order to ensure a awless operation of the analyzer mea-
sure control samples and watch the function of the analyzer
closely.
- Faulty measurement results may result in an incorrect diagno-
sis or range danger for patient.
Fire and Explo-
sion Hazards
- Do not place any inammable or hazardous explosive material
close to the device.
- Electrical sparks could cause re or explosions.
Operator Quali-
cation
- The analyzer should only be operated by trained personnel.
Improper operation of the analyzer might cause inaccurate
measuring results!
! 2 Maintenance and Hygiene
- No organic acid based cleaning substances should be applied. Instead use clean-
er designed for cleaning and disinfecting laboratory analysers.
- Only use a dampened cloth to clean the analyser.
- Never spray or pour cleaning solution directly onto the analyser that may negative-
ly impact the analyzer’s functions signicantly.
- Keep the analyser clean and do not spill liquids onto it.
- In case liquids were spilled onto the analyser, immediately absorb liquid with a
suitable cloth.
- Contact your distributor if your control measurements do not produce the expected
results.
Cleaning and Disinfection
- Use a suitable surface disinfectant solution available for laboratory instruments.
- In urgent cases use Surgical Spirit 94% if no other more suitable solution is availa-
ble.
! 3 First-Aid Measures
- If a person swallowed any chemical solution may be while servicing, wash out
mouth with water.
- If provided person is unconscious, than call a physician.
- If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes dicult, than call a physician.
- In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amount of water.
- In case of contact with eyes, ush with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes.
- Assure adequate ushing by separating the eyelids with ngers, than call a physi-
cian.
! 4 Repairs
Repairs to the analyser may only be carried out by trained personnel, and replacement
