CAUTION
In the mode functions described in Section 6, there are 2 kinds of modes: one is the administrator mode, which
can only be operated by administrators; another is the normal mode, which can be operated by normal operators.
The important mode functions, which affect test results such as correlation coefficient settings, can only be
operated in the administrator mode. The administrator modes must be operated only by the administrators who
have the responsibility for the use of the analyzer. Inputting a password in the password input dialogue allows the
administrators to operate the administrator modes.
1.3 Biohazards and Disposal
WARNING
As used (contaminated) consumables (e.g., DRI-CHEM SLIDES, DRI-CHEM AUTO TIPS, DRI-CHEM MIXING CUPS and
sample tubes) and contaminated swabs or cloths used for cleaning the equipment are infectious waste, process
the waste correctly in compliance with any applicable regulations in your country, such as by incineration, melting,
sterilization or disinfection.
WARNING
When discarding the Element DC body that may be contaminated with blood samples, be sure to process it correctly
in compliance with any applicable regulations in your country because it must never be disposed of as a general
waste.
WARNING
When handling samples (blood) and performing maintenance (cleaning the analyzer), always follow biohazard
procedures (e.g., wearing gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles), referring to the sample handling rules of your facility.
If any part of the body comes in contact with samples, immediately rinse the contaminated body part thoroughly
under running water and then use ethyl alcohol as a disinfectant. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
WARNING
Do not touch used slides and tips with bare hands as this may cause contamination. If any part of the body comes in
contact with contaminated consumables, immediately rinse the contaminated body part thoroughly under running
water and then use ethyl alcohol as a disinfectant. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
WARNING
When samples come into contact with the analyzer components, immediately clean and disinfect the components.
