Laser Hazards
The CELL-DYN 3200 Instrument is a Class 1
(Class I) Laser Product per IEC
60825-1
. However, it contains a Class 3 B laser.
CAUTION: Class 3 B Laser Light when open. Avoid Exposure to
Beam
. When the access door or inner protective cover are removed,
Helium-Neon laser power up to 10 mW continuous wave at 632.8 nm in a
beam with 1 mR divergence could be accessible in the interior of the optics
bench. Do not look directly into the laser beam or any reflections of the
beam from a mirror-like surface. This amount of energy, with insignificant
attenuation with distance, is sufficient to cause eye damage.
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light
exposure.
During normal operation, the inner protective cover is to remain in place to prevent
laser light exposure from the optics bench. The inner protective cover is to be
removed only during servicing by qualified personnel.
The inner protective cover laser warning labels must not be removed and are to
remain legible. The Protective Housing Label (Abbott P/N 9230701), shown in
Figure 8.1, consists of black lettering against a yellow background.
Figure 8.1 Laser Warning Label
This label is located in two places: on the Protective Cover (under the Top Cover)
that covers the laser mirrors (refer to Figure 8.2), and on the upper left side of the
Flow Panel (refer to Figure 8.3).
CAUTION –
CLASS 3B LASER LIGHT WHEN OPEN.
AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM.
