1 Safety Information
• The installation, authorization, upgrade and modification of the system software must be
performed by personnel authorized by Mindray Animal Medical. Make sure to install
only Mindray Animal Medical-authorized software.
• Using pinboard may bring electrical interference and the analysis results may be
unreliable. Place the analyzer near the electrical outlet to avoid using the pinboard.
• Use the power cord provided by the manufacturer. Using the power cord other than
provided by the manufacturer may lead to system damage or unqualified smear output.
• When connecting the reagents, make sure the color of the reagent container cap assembly
is the same as that of the reagent inlet to which it is connected.
• Check if the reagent tubes are properly connected before using the system. Otherwise,
the results may be inaccurate.
1.2.3 Safety Messages Related to Reagents, Controls, and
Calibrators
CAUTION
• The reagents are irritating to eyes, skin and airway. Wear proper personal protective
equipment (e.g. gloves, lab coat, goggles, etc.) and follow safe laboratory procedures
when handling them and the contacted areas in the laboratory. If reagents accidentally
spill on your skin or in your eyes, rinse the area with ample amount of clean water, and
seek medical attention immediately.
• Use the reagents, controls and calibrators specified by the manufacturer only. Using
other reagents, controls and calibrators, may lead to system damage and inaccurate
measurement, control and calibration results.
• Pay attention to the expiration dates and open-container stability days of all the reagents.
Be sure not to use expired reagents. Otherwise, the results may be inaccurate.
• To ensure measurement accuracy, do not mix the new container of reagent with the
residue in the replaced container to ensure accurate measurement, and prevent reagents
from pollution following safe laboratory procedures.
1.2.4 Maintenance-related Safety Messages
BIOLOGICAL RISK

control. For effective control of infection, please consult the Infection Prevention
Department of the hospital or the epidemic professionals.
• Remove the waste container cap and replace the waste container only when the power
indicator is not flickering, in order not to make the waste overflow from the container.
• If the waste is discharged using waste container, make sure the pickup tube of the waste
container cap assembly is above, and the tube is smooth and not bent.
• After replacing the reagent container/bag, check the tubing connected to the cap
assembly and make sure it is not bent over.
CAUTION
• Improper maintenance may damage the analyzer. Operators must follow the instruction
of this Operator's Manual to perform maintenance operations. For problems not
mentioned in this manual, contact Customer Service Department for service advice.
