5. Precautions, Limitations and Warnings
The Element COAG+ Analyzer is for in vitro diagnostic use
only. Some environmental factors and incorrect operation
may cause the Element COAG+ Analyzer to not work
effectively or to report inaccurate results. Please read the
following warnings carefully before use and strictly follow
them.
As with all diagnostic tests, Element COAG+ Analyzer’s test
results should be analyzed and interpreted by combining the
condition, medical history, current and possible treatment of
a specific animal. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with
the clinical status should be repeated or supplemented with
additional test data or repeated with other testing methods.
