8.2.2  Running the Controls 
 
 
z  Samples, controls, calibrator and waste are potentially infectious. Wear 
proper personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, lab coat, etc.) and follow 
safe laboratory procedures when handling them in the laboratory. 
 
 
z  The sample probe tip is sharp and may contain biohazardous materials. 
Exercise caution to avoid contact with the probe when working around it.   
z  Do not re-use such disposable product as collection tubes, test tubes, 
capillary tubes, etc. 
 
 
z  Keep the sample probe tip away from the tube bottom; otherwise the 
aspiration volume may be inaccurate.   
z  When the aspiration is done, remove the sample tube only when the sample 
probe is out of the tube.
