Safety Conventions Used in This Document
Safety Alert
Words
Four safety alert words appear in Applied Biosystems user documentation at points in
the document where you need to be aware of relevant hazards. Each alert
word–IMPORTANT, CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER–implies a particular level of
observation or action, as defined below:
Definitions
IMPORTANT! – Indicates information that is necessary for proper instrument operation,
accurate chemistry kit use, or safe use of a chemical.
– Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
– Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
– Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme
situations.
Except for IMPORTANTs, each safety alert word in an Applied Biosystems document
appears with an open triangle figure that contains a hazard symbol. These hazard
symbols are identical to the hazard icons that are affixed to Applied Biosystems
instruments (see “Safety Symbols” on page xiii).
Examples
The following examples show the use of safety alert words:
IMPORTANT! Wear powder-free gloves when you handle the halogen lamp.
The lamp is extremely hot. Do not touch the lamp until it has cooled to
room temperature.
CHEMICAL HAZARD. Ethanol is a flammable liquid and vapor.
Exposure causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation and may cause central nervous
system depression and liver damage. Read the MSDS, and follow the handling instructions.
Wear appropriate protective eyewear, clothing, and gloves.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD. Failure to ground the instrument properly
can lead to an electrical shock. Ground the instrument according to the provided instructions.
