specifically. The symbols used in this Operating Manual Addendum have the

following significance:

WARNING

Potentially infectious material

Indicates an area where the operator may be exposed to infectious material.

WARNING

Automatically moving parts.

Injuries (crushing, piercing) possible, if the safety panels are not in place.

Before starting the m1000™, make sure that the safety door is closed.

Never operate the instrument without panels on and door closed.

WARNING

Laser Hazard

Identifies a Class II laser product that contains an embedded low power

visible Class II laser diode barcode scanner. Warns against direct viewing into

barcode laser beam or reflections from the beam.

WARNING

Hot Surface Hazard: Identifies an area where the operator may be exposed to hot

surfaces, such as heater zone 1 and heater zone 2.

NAT Admin Software

NAT Admin

Software

The NAT Admin software allows you to configure the m1000™ with information to

meet your site’s specific requirements.

WARNING

The Abbott 1 ml Protocol v1.0 cannot be edited.

The use of the Abbott sample preparation kit and the provided Generic 1 ml

Protocol will allow an operator successful RNA separation. The Generic 1 ml

Protocol processes all specimens and controls as samples. Because the NAT

software does not check dependencies of process steps, instrument damage

and/or poor specimen yield and purity may result from any protocol or process

step change. It is strongly recommended that users contact Abbott Laboratories

for assistance with any protocol or process step change. Technical Support may

be limited for any changes to the Generic 1 ml Protocol not recommended by

Abbott Laboratories. The user has sole responsibility to verify and/or validate any

user-defined protocols.

WARNING

Automatically moving parts.

Injuries (crushing, piercing) possible, if the safety panels are not in place.

Before starting the m1000™, make sure that the safety door is closed.

Never operate the instrument without panels on and door closed.

WARNING

Potentially infectious

Instrument parts may be contaminated with potentially infectious materials.

Follow basic biohazard precautions

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, lab coats

and protective eye wear

WARNING

The operator may be exposed to hazardous chemicals when handling sample

preparation reagents. The exposure to hazardous chemicals is minimized by

following instructions provided in produce-specific labels and product-specific

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Wear appropriate personal protective

equipment, such as gloves, lab coats, and protective eye wear.
