Safety Information and Additional Information

dling of the system are presented in the cobas h 232 Operator’s Manual. Please read these
passages carefully.

The safety alert symbol by itself (without a signal word) is used to pro-
mote awareness to hazards which are generic or to direct the reader to
related safety information.
