Be sure to write down the reagent name on each reagent bottle and add the reagent
indicated on the bottle. Also, set the reagent bottle at the same position as where the
reagent name is set/displayed on the screen.
Processing cannot be performed correctly if a wrong reagent is set in the reagent bottle. Be sure to write
down the reagent name on each reagent bottle and add the reagent indicated on the bottle. Also, set the
reagent bottle at the same position as where the reagent name is set/displayed on the screen.
Change reagent and paraffin periodically.
Reagent and paraffin deteriorate through repeated tissue processing. Change them periodically to prevent
the tissue processing results from negatively affected. Continuing to use the instrument without changing
cleaning solution can also cause retort cleaning failure, clogged tubing or other potential failure.
Be sure to change cleaning xylene or alcohol that has been used for the specified
number of times.
Otherwise, proper cleaning may not be achieved. Also, clogged tubing may occur or paraffin may remain in
the retort.
Use dedicated activated carbon filters for the fume control unit.
Use of inappropriate activated carbon filters may cause explosion of powder dust generated from activated
carbon powder.
When storing cassettes, etc., be sure to use the supplied basket. Also, be sure to close
the basket lid before storing the basket in the retort.
If the supplied basket is not used, the tissues may not submerge in solution or they may float, and may not
be processed properly.
Use the specified supplies.
When replacing supplies, use those specified in this manual. Use of non-specified supplies may result in
malfunction or failure
Reagent may scatter and attach to your body while working. Be sure to wear protective
gears while working.
In all operations including tissue processing, solution exchange, opening/closing of doors, cleaning and
daily maintenance, the reagents used may scatter and attach to your body (eye, mucous membrane, skin,
mouth, nose, etc.) or you may inhale their gases. Be sure to wear protective gears (gloves, solution mask,
goggles) while working.
The allowable concentration limit of each substance in the work environment varies
depending on the air temperature, size of the room, additional load, if any, ventilation
ratio, etc.
If danger is suspected, the person responsible for handling the instrument should measure the
concentration of the applicable substance in the area and confirm that the allowable limit in the work
environment is not exceeded. Follow the standard concentration limits specified by the environmental
regulation of the country/region in which the instrument is used.
If any reagent harmful to human health attached to your body or entered your mouth,
take an appropriate action according to the SDS of the reagent.
Wear protective gears (mask, gloves, goggles) during work in case anything goes wrong. Use protective
gears that are resistant to all reagents on the reagent list.
