4 Operation – Part 1
4.1 Introduction
This part of the instructions for use summarises all the information needed for
daily operation of the equipment.
In Part 2 there is a summary of all the additional information important for
understanding the functions, additional functions and certain sources of error.
The operating staff must inform themselves about both parts and should also be
able to interpret technically the readings obtained.
Evaluation of the results and the diagnostic and therapeutic measures derived
from them must be carried out only by specialist staff authorised to do so.
4.2 Safety instructions
As already mentioned, some safety instructions must be observed when operating
the equipment in order to ensure correct and error-free work:
- The equipment must be operated for the described indication only. Before
using the equipment, please read all the instructions for use – carefully,
especially the regulations on sampling –.
- Each user is responsible for keeping to the safety, health and legal
regulations and for using the equipment in the proper manner only.
- Evaluation of the results and the diagnostic and therapeutic measures
derived from them must be carried out only by specialist staff authorised to
do so.
- Use for personal use is expressly forbidden.
- During daily work, regular quality control of the readings obtained should
be noted and additional control readings carried out if necessary.
- The equipment should not be switched off or disconnected from the power
supply when it is still operating. If this should happen, it can lead to faults
in function when it is next switched on. If faulty functioning or incorrect
readings are suspected, please inform those responsible for the equipment.
They may then need to discuss the matter with the manufacturer or the
sales partner in order to solve the problem.
- If there is any accidental skin contact with potentially infectious
substances, e.g. human samples, disinfect the affected parts of the body
with a suitable disinfectant solution.
- The haemolysis system solution is not corrosive, poisonous or seriously
harmful to skin. If there is any skin contact with the haemolysis system
solution, rinsing with water is sufficient. You can find more information on
this in the safety data sheet for each solution.
- We expressly point out that if the equipment and consumable materials are
not used correctly the protective measures provided for the equipment may
be ineffective.
