Input/Output Module safety
CAUTION: Biological RISKS. This activity or area may expose you to potentially
infectious material.
CAUTION: Risk of infection due to skin contact. The operator may be exposed to
serious injury, including death or infections, due to skin contact with infected sample
matter. Wear personal protective equipment during operation.
CAUTION: To prevent operator injury, the module status must be transitioned to Offline
before the module interior is accessed.
CAUTION: Moving parts. The operator may be injured by moving parts inside the
module.
•
Do not reach into the module while the module covers are closed.
• Be aware of moving parts while the module covers are open.
• Keep the module covers closed and locked during operation.
CAUTION: Incorrectly loaded samples may constitute a health hazard for patients.
The input area can be configured in different ways, which may increase the risk of
samples being loaded incorrectly. Samples loaded in the wrong area can cause delayed
or incorrect results, and can cause highly sensitive analyzers to malfunction. Only allow
trained personnel to operate the laboratory automation system (LAS). Ensure that
samples are loaded into the defined area for the sample type (for example, centrifuged,
uncentrifuged, capped, or uncapped) on the LAS.
CAUTION: Overhead obstruction. Operators may hit their heads on open module
covers.
•
Be aware that injury or bodily harm can occur when module covers are opened and
closed.
• Protect the head when working on modules with open module covers.
NOTE: Follow all safety information in this manual. All work not included in this manual
may only be performed by an Abbott Laboratories representative or an authorized service
representative.
NOTE: Only use sample tubes that are approved for the LAS.
