Installation Procedures and Special Requirements
Space Requirements
Approximately 6 linear feet of space is required on the counter top to accommodate
the instrument, display station, and printer. Sufficient space is required beneath for
the reagents and the waste container (if one is used).
Do not position the instrument so that it is difficult to operate the main power
switch.
Allow six inches of space behind the instrument and 12 inches above and in front
of the fan on the left side of the
LQVWUXPHQW
for air flow. In addition, allow adequate
space around the instrument to perform necessary maintenance procedures, to
provide service access, and to allow the instrument to be easily disconnected from
its power source.
Locate the instrument:
• On a stable, level surface
• On a nonporous, nonabsorbent work surface and flooring that can be easily
cleaned and disinfected using recommended procedures
• Away from direct sunlight
• Away from the path of a cooled or heated air outlet
• Away from any other instruments that may interfere with it, such as a
centrifuge, any x-ray equipment, MRI equipment, a CRT, a video terminal, a
computer, or a copier
Place the reagents below the instrument.
Waste Disposal Requirements
Observe the following requirements for waste routing and disposal:
• Allow room for a suitable, properly labeled, waste container or position the
instrument to permit the waste to be routed directly to a drain suitable for
disposal of waste. The drain must be suitable for waste that could present a
biological or chemical hazard.
• If routing waste to a waste container, ensure the Waste Sensor is properly
connected.
• If routing waste to a drain, make sure the Dummy Plug is inserted into the
SENSOR port.
• Users are responsible for disposing of waste in accordance with local, state,
and federal regulations.
WARNING: Potential Biohazard.
The waste is under pressure. Be sure
that the Waste Outlet Tube is securely placed in the drain hole or waste box,
flow of waste is unobstructed, and all System components are located away
from possible waste overflow.
