Limitations
The CELL-DYN 3200 System is designed for in vitro diagnostic use.
• Abbott has designed the CELL-DYN 3200 System components for optimal
performance. Substituting reagents, calibrators, controls, and components
manufactured by other companies may adversely affect the performance of
the instrument.
• Follow the recommended maintenance schedules and procedures as outlined
in Section 9: Service and Maintenance.
• During the warranty period, all service and repair must be performed by
Abbott-authorized representatives.
Location Requirements
The location of the CELL-DYN 3200 System is an important consideration that
affects proper instrument functioning, operating safety, and ease of use.
• An Abbott-authorized representative must install the instrument.
• The location should have nonporous, nonabsorbing work surfaces and
flooring that can be cleaned easily and disinfected using recommended
procedures.
• Place the CELL-DYN 3200 System on a hard, level surface. Locate the
system:
– away from direct sunlight.
– away from the path of a cooled air or heated air outlet.
– away from other instruments that may interfere with the
CELL-DYN 3200 System, such as drying ovens, centrifuges, x-ray
equipment, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) equipment, CRTs or
computers, video terminals, copiers, ultrasonic cleaners, and patient
areas. Please note that the CELL-DYN 3200 System has been evaluated
to EN55011 and EN61000 for electromagnetic emissions and immunity,
respectively.
