Compliance and Safety
l A physical keyboard is required for use with PRO360. Do not use the
keyboard for other purposes unless instructed by Hologic personnel or the
instructions outlined in the Panther System Operator's Manual (see
Troubleshooting with PRO360° Software on page 254).
l Do not remove Reagent or Sample Racks that are currently in use by the
system. Do not remove racks when the lane LED is red and the rack graphic
on the screen is yellow with a red border.
System Environment Warnings
l Do not expose the PantherSystem to direct sunlight or extreme
temperatures.
l The work area must have adequate sink facilities to accommodate the
procedures described in this manual. Sink facilities for waste disposal
should be separate from sink facilities for preparing cleaning solutions.
Waste and reagent disposal facilities should meet established laboratory
policies.
l Prior to preparing an assay run, clean all work surfaces and equipment with
the appropriate sodium hypochlorite solution or prepared Bleach Enhancer
solution. Refer to the instructions in the appropriate package insert and the
appropriate section in the Panther System Operator's Manual (see Preparing
a Clean Workspace on page 199).
l This equipment has been designed and tested to CISPR 11 Class A. In a
domestic environment it may cause radio interference. Take measures to
mitigate the risk as needed.
l Do not use this device in close proximity to sources of strong
electromagnetic radiation as these may interfere with the proper operation.
System Configuration Warnings
l Do not include Start/Stop characters (if present) when manually entering a
Sample ID. A mismatch will occur between the actual Sample ID and the ID
in the printed report.
l Use only the Sample Racks and specimen tubes that are designed for use
on the Panther System. Refer to the appropriate package insert for more
information.
l Always back up the current database before restoring it. Do not restore the
database unless directed by authorized Hologic personnel.
Sample Handling Warnings
l Do not run sample types on the Panther System other than those approved
for the assay currently being run. Refer to the appropriate assay package
insert and/or collection device package insert for regulatory clearances
required for use on the Panther System.
