Injury through reagents and other working solutions
Direct contact with reagents, cleaning solutions, or other working solutions may cause
personal injury.
When handling reagents, exercise the precautions required for handling laboratory
reagents, observe the cautions given in the package insert, and observe the information
given in the Safety Data Sheets available for Roche Diagnostics reagents and cleaning
solutions.
Infection by biohazardous materials
Contact with samples containing material of human origin may result in infection. All mate-
rials and mechanical components associated with samples of human origin are potentially
biohazardous.
o Be sure to wear protective equipment. Take extra care when working with protective
gloves; these can easily be pierced or cut, which can lead to infection.
o If any biohazardous material is spilled, wipe it up immediately and apply disinfectant.
o If waste solution contacts your skin, wash it off immediately with water and apply a dis-
infectant. Consult a physician.
Personal injury or damage to the analyzer due to contact with instrument
mechanism
Contact with moving parts of the instrument may cause personal injuries, stop the instru-
ment from processing, and cause damage to instrument parts.
o Do not touch moving parts during instrument operation.
o Keep all covers closed, operate them as instructed on the screen.
Damage to the reagent disk
The reagent disk is designed to handle reagents while it is loaded on the instrument. The
cover is equipped with a locking mechanism.
Remove or insert bottles only when the reagent disk is loaded on the instrument and
always use the software functions to perform these tasks.
