Bar Code Reader Laser
The accessory bar code reader is classified under FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 as a
Class II laser product. In accordance with IEC 60825-1, the accessory bar code reader is
classified as Class 2.
The bar code reader laser presents a potential hazard to eyesight.
WARNING: Do not stare into the barcode reader beam or shine it into other
people’s eyes.
Heat
The heater plate, used to warm the plate carrier of the Y platform, can be heated between
35°C and 60°C.
CAUTION: Do not use the heater plate as an incubator. Its purpose is to
maintain the temperature of the microtiter plate while the plate is
in the MAGPIX instrument. Monitor the heater plate temperature
while it is in use. If it overheats, discontinue use and contact
Luminex Technical Support.
WARNING: The heater plate of the MAGPIX plate carrier may be hot and can
cause personal injury if touched. Do not touch the heater plate.
Fluids
This instrument contains fluids. In the event of a fluid leak, turn off all power to the system
and disconnect all power cords. The on/off switch is not a method of disconnection; the
power cord must be removed from the outlet. Contact Luminex Technical Support for
further information.
DANGER: Do not operate the instrument in the presence of leaking fluid.
Monitor waste fluid levels periodically as a precaution. Do not allow the waste fluid
container to overflow. Empty the waste fluid container each time you replace the Drive
Fluid container.
Biohazard
Human and animal samples may contain biohazardous infectious agents. To avoid
pressurization problems, the waste fluid container is vented, so beware of biohazardous
aerosol material.
WARNING: Where exposure to potentially biohazardous material, including
aerosol, exists, follow appropriate biosafety procedures and use
personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE includes gloves,
gowns, laboratory coats, face shields or mask and eye protection,
respirators, and ventilation devices. Observe all local, state,
federal and country-specific biohazard handling regulations when
disposing of biohazardous waste material.
