Section 7 Operational Precautions and Limitations
Precautions
Reagent Storage and Handling
• Store reagents, calibrators, and controls according to the directions contained
in the package labels and/or inserts.
• Protect reagents from extreme heat and freezing during storage.
Temperatures below 0
°
C (32
°
F) may cause layering that changes the tonicity
and conductivity of the reagent. If freezing occurs, do not use the reagent.
• Protect reagents from direct sunlight, evaporation, and contamination. Use
the Reagent Container Cap attached to each length of inlet tubing to minimize
evaporation and contamination.
• Never add remaining reagent from a container being replaced to a freshly
opened container. This may contaminate the new reagent.
• Never use a hemoglobin standard other than the one specified for the
CELL-DYN 3200 System. The CELL-DYN 3200 System uses a
cyanide-free reagent.
Printer Precautions
The printhead on dot matrix printers can get very hot during extended periods of
printing. Allow it to cool before touching it. Heat is not a problem with ink jet or
bubble jet printers.
