4.1 General information
All reagents used in this instrument are exclusively for use with
Sysmex equipment. Do not use them for any other purpose. Please
follow the warnings for safe handling and usage of each reagent as
given on the reagent packaging, package insert and the instructions
for use.
4.2 CELLPACK
CELLPACK is a diluent used to dilute aspirated analysis samples in
order to measure an RBC count, WBC count, hemoglobin
concentration and platelet count.
Caution!
• Leave CELLPACK at room temperature (15 - 30°C)
for at least 24 hours or longer before using. If a
reagent that has arrived recently is used, a correct
analysis result may not be obtained.
• Use CELLPACK at 15 - 30°C.
When analyzed with reagent of a temperature higher
than 30°C or lower than 15°C, a correct analysis
result may not be obtained.
• Do not allow CELLPACK to freeze.
• CELLPACK is solely intended for use with Sysmex
reagents and analyzers.
• If other reagents are used, the product performance
of Sysmex instruments cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not use any left-over CELLPACK. Always use
new CELLPACK.
• Take care to prevent dust, dirt, bacteria, or other
materials from entering the reagent after it is opened.
Otherwise, there is a possibility that proper analysis
cannot be performed.
• Do not use CELLPACK that shows signs of
contamination or instability, such as turbidity or
discoloration.
