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.
