Health Precautions
The VirClia Lotus use not excludes the exposure to biohazards. All the parts that come into contact with blood, serum
and other biological liquids, reagents and controls, must be treated as potentially infectious materials.
For safety, follow the directions here below:
• When human samples, specific reagents, controls, calibrators and diluents are handled, protect any cuts, abra-
sions and other skin lesions adequately. Always wear lab coat, disposable gloves, mask and goggles;
• Do not pipette the samples by mouth;
• Do not eat, drink, smoke or apply makeup in the areas where the samples and reagents are handled. Wear goggles
while handling and dispensing the samples, loading the reagents and disposing of the solid and liquid waste.
• Corrosive substances that may cause burns and damage to eyes.
• Always be aware of the risks that these substances may pose. Avoid exposure to corrosive substances.
• Use protective clothing, safety goggles and gloves.
• Always use adequate materials when handling reagents such as VIRCLIA® DECONTAMINATION
SOLUTION, which contains sulphuric acid 0.5M.
Keep in mind that some reagents are potentially hazardous chemicals under the current regulations. The operator
must follow the protection regulations for the chemical and biological hazard in these conditions:
• During the samples, controls, specific reagents, calibrators and diluents handling;
• During the maintenance operations;
• In case of potentially hazardous materials spilling inside the working area of the instrument;
• During the decontamination procedures, disinfection and disposal of the instrument parts or the instrument as
a whole.
• The operator is recommended to carefully read what is specified in the labels on the Monotest Devices boxes
and on the Reagents vials and to keep in mind the indications listed in the Safety Data Sheet of each single kit.
