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
wordIMPORTANT, 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 xv).
