DO NOT:
•

remains on the screen until the instrument unlocks
the cartridge.
•
use the instrument in environmental conditions that exceed the operating temperature and humidity
specifications.
•
make any unauthorized repairs or modifications to this product as this may cause personal injury or
damage to the unit.
NOTE:
•
Protection provided by this equipment may be impaired if used in a manner not specified by Abbott
Point of Care.
•
Operators should use standard precautions whenever handling the instrument, cartridge, and
peripherals to protect themselves from blood-borne pathogens. Standard precautions, such as the
wearing of gloves, are designed to protect personnel from blood-borne pathogens and pathogens
from other body substances. These precautions are based on the assumption that blood, body fluids,
and tissue can contain infectious agents and should therefore be treated as biohazardous materials.
For more information, refer to the CDC/NIH manual Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical
Laboratories, 4th edition, 1999, or to the WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual, 2nd edition, 2003.
•
The instrument can be rendered inoperative by damage caused by mishandling -- for example,
dropping the instrument.
•
Clinical settings that demand fail-safe testing should have a backup instrument or test source
available.
•
The instrument and its peripherals are not listed by any authority with respect to suitability for use in
oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
•
Synchronizing the instrument date/time to a data manager with an incorrect date/time could render
the instrument unusable. To disable automatic date/time synchronization, run the Set Clock flow and
uncheck the box Synchronize Clock with Data Manager. Then press Set Date/Time Manually and set
the correct date/time.
