• The use of non-Beckman Coulter, third party Microtubes, which have not been
designed and tested on Synchron Systems may result in system damage and/or short
sampling.
Biohazard Precautions
All biohazard precautions should be observed when doing maintenance, service, or
troubleshooting on the system. This includes but may not be limited to wearing gloves
and eye shields, and washing hands after working on contaminated portions of the
system.
Blood Barrier Collection Tube Precautions
When blood collection tubes that contain physical barriers are used, extra care should
be exercised to ensure that the barrier is tightly packed. Loose particles from the
barrier could coat or plug the sample probe, flow cell, chemistry modules, electrolyte
injection cup (EIC), or cuvette wash station.
BUNm/UREAm Electrode Precautions
Loosen the BUNm/UREAm electrode retainer nut, approximately one-half turn, and
withdraw electrode slightly before removing the stir bar and make sure the BUNm/
UREAm electrode is slightly withdrawn before reinstalling the stir bar. This prevents
possible damage to the delicate electrode tip. After the stir bar is reinstalled, tighten
the retainer nut to prevent leakage.
CC Subsystems Priming Precautions
If any two of the CC Subsystem items are selected, all three will prime automatically.
Check to make certain that all three areas are ready to be primed if any two are
selected.

Membrane Replacement Precautions
Do not touch the membrane surface when installing the quad-ring.
Covers, Doors and Shields Precautions
To ensure optimum performance of the system, operate the system with reagent doors
and all shields and covers in place. To prevent possible motion errors, verify the proper
positioning of any removed and reinstalled cover or shield.
CTS (Closed Tube Sampling) Cap Piercer Precautions
Do not use the Cap Piercer with foil-capped tubes. This will give level sense errors.
