Safety Notice

Chemical and Biological Safety

Normal operation may involve the use of solutions and test samples that are pathogenic, toxic, or

radioactive. Such materials should not be used in this instrument, however, unless all necessary

safety precautions are taken.

• Observe all cautionary information printed on the original solution containers prior to

their use.

• Handle body fluids with care because they can transmit disease. No known test offers complete

assurance that they are free of micro-organisms. Some of the most virulent — Hepatitis (B and

C) and HIV (I–V) viruses, atypical mycobacteria, and certain systemic fungi — further emphasize

the need for aerosol protection. Handle other infectious samples according to good laboratory

procedures and methods to prevent spread of disease. Because spills may generate aerosols,

observe proper safety precautions for aerosol containment. Do not run toxic, pathogenic, or

radioactive materials in this centrifuge without taking appropriate safety precautions. Biosafe

containment should be used when Risk Group II materials (as identified in the World Health

Organization Laboratory Biosafety Manual) are handled; materials of a higher group require

more than one level of protection.

• Dispose of all waste solutions according to appropriate environmental health and safety

guidelines.

It is your responsibility to decontaminate the instrument and accessories before requesting service

by Beckman Coulter Field Service.
