Safety and Regulatory Considerations
Safety Practices
In any situation in which you encounter this symbol, consult this manual or other Luminex
documentation to determine the nature of the potential hazard and any necessary actions
you must take.
CAUTION: The protection provided by the equipment can be impaired or the
warranty voided if the Luminex MAGPIX system is used in a
manner not specified by the instructions or by Luminex
Corporation.
General
Keep the side access door closed and latched during normal operations.
DANGER: Do not, under any circumstances, remove the housing of the
instrument. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified in Luminex MAGPIX
documentation can result in exposure to hazards.
Always observe standard laboratory safety practices.
Mechanical
MAGPIX has parts that move during operation. Risk of personal injury is present. The
moving parts present puncture and pinching hazards. Keep your hands and fingers away
from the plate carrier slot, syringe pump, and sample probe during operation. The plate
carrier ejects without warning, especially during multiplate batches. Observe all warnings
and cautions. Keep the access door closed and latched during normal operations.
Electrical
Do not perform any maintenance or cleaning of the electrical components in the system,
with the exception of replacing fuses.
Observe the fuse caution stated on the fuse caution label. See “Fuse Caution Label” on
page 4. Be aware of the voltage of the instrument. See “Serial Number and Voltage Label”
on page 4.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
MAGPIX complies with the emission and immunity requirements described in IEC 61326-
1 and IEC 61326-2-6. The electromagnetic environment should be evaluated prior to
operation.
WARNING: Do not use this instrument in close proximity to sources of strong
electromagnetic radiation, for example, unshielded intentional RF
sources, as these may interfere with the proper operation.
WARNING: Always handle MAGPIX according to Luminex instructions to
avoid any possible interference from its electromagnetic fields.
