• Do not operate the printer without paper.
• Do not allow the power supply to become a trip hazard.
• Do not disturb the handheld or printer until printing is complete since this will interrupt the printout. If
printing is interrupted, realign the printer and handheld or replace the handheld in the Downloader to
resume printing. Note: if significant time has elapsed, some results may be missing from the printout.
Reprint the results.
• If printed results appear inconsistent with a patient’s clinical assessment, verify that the printed results
match the data in the handheld. If the results do match, the patient sample should be retested using
another cartridge. If they do not match, reprint the results. If the reprint still does not match the
handheld data, the printer requires service and the printed results must not be used.
• Skin irritation, including caustic burns/injury, may occur following exposure to a leaking battery.
Always wear gloves when handling a leaking battery, and do not permit a leaking battery to contact
skin. Should skin exposure to a leaking battery occur, follow the first aid measures outlined in the
MSDS Sheet for the Novacell nickel metal hydride battery.
