The blue light above the Sample Arm simply indicates the on/off
status of the instrument, and is harmless. The blue light-emitting
diode (LED) does not emit light in the UV spectrum.
Warning: During operation, this system contains exposed,
moving parts which could result in pinch point hazard. Risk of
personal injury is present. Keep hands and fingers away from the
syringe arm. If you use the optional XYP, keep hands and fingers
out of the XYP slot during operation.
Note: Access doors must be
closed while operating the
Luminex 100 analyzer. Operator

operation.
Warning: Human/animal samples may contain biohazardous
infectious agents. Where exposure (including aerosol) to
potentially biohazardous materials exists, operators should follow
appropriate biosafety procedures and use personal protective
equipment, such as gloves, gowns, laboratory coats, face shields
or masks, and eye protection and ventilation devices.
Observe all local, state, and federal biohazard handling
regulations when disposing of biohazardous waste material.
Warning: The heater plate of the optional XYP instrument may be
hot and could cause personal injury if touched. Do not touch the
heater plate.
