6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Page 40
Do not block the ventilation ports of the
instrument.
Blocking the ventilation ports may cause improper ventilation and
instrument failure.
Do not put an object and reagent on top of the
instrument.
Doing so may cause an accident. Spillage of a chemical solution
may damage or break down the instrument.
Open and close the instrument lid and guard
bowl lid slowly.
A strong impact may break the lid.
Do not open the instrument lid unless needed.
Open the instrument lid only when needed to operate the
instrument as instructed in this manual. The time the lid is opened
should be as short as possible.
Perform a test run before determining operating
parameters.
Operating parameters vary depending on specimen type. Test
operating parameters on the instrument actually before
determining them.
Use designated instrument accessories and
consumables.
Use consumables specified in this manual for replacement. Use
of wrong components will cause malfunction or failure.
Do not spill fluids like specimens or water on the
lid latch hole and the control panel.
Wipe spillage off immediately.
Do not put foreign matter into the lid latch hole
and the louver on the back and sides of the
instrument.
Doing so may cause instrument malfunction.
Always keep the spindle and bowl shaft housing
clean and dust-free.
Keep the guard bowl unit removed from the
instrument when it is not in use.
Failure to do so may cause the guard bowl to seize and make it
unable to remove.
Use microscopic glass slides (edge-ground).
Glass slides might break, depending on their size and quality.
Determine if glass slides can be safely assembled in the chamber
holders and processed on the instrument before use.
Confirm that a name and ID on each glass slide
match those of individual patients or subjects.
Do not leave the guard bowl lid locked after use.
The bowl lid left locked after use may become difficult to remove
if pressure inside the guard bowl becomes negative.
Do not put an obstruction on movable
components.
Doing so may cause instrument failure.
Store the instrument with the power cord
unplugged for extended non-use.
If the instrument is not used for a long period, clean the
instrument lightly, put the dust cover on to avoid dust and foreign
matter, and store in a place with low humidity.
Perform a periodic inspection once a year.
In order to operate the instrument safely and maintain its
capabilities, conduct a periodic inspection once a year. Contact a
Sakura sales representative for details
Do not clean the instrument with benzene or
thinner.
Do not wipe the instrument surface with benzene or thinner.
Doing so may cause the surface to dissolve or crack or its rigidity
to decrease. Wipe with a paper towel moistened with alcohol. Do
not spray with alcohol. Fluids running into electric components
may cause insulation failure or deterioration like corrosion.
Use specified cleaning agents.
Use a mild detergent. If an unspecified agent is used, the
instrument may corrode or malfunction.
Exercise due caution when handling reagents.
Wear gloves, mask and/or safety goggles, or
take other proper measures designed to protect
the operator, by following the applicable
regulation or guideline in your country or region.
Some reagents are a hazard to human health.
If any biologically hazardous substance is
handled, follow applicable regulations or
guidelines in your country or region to ensure
safety. Wear protective clothing and work in a safety
cabinet as appropriate to protect the operator. Sterilize
possible infectious waste and infectious medical waste and
dispose of them properly as per regulations and guidelines
in your country or region
