Introduction
The operational precautions below enable the user to avoid those actions which could
result in an invalid quantitative determination.
Proper Handling of Diskettes
The 3.5 inch floppy diskettes require special handling to prevent damage.
• Do not store or place a diskette near electrical motors, power supplies, or generators.
• Do not store or place a diskette near magnets or a magnetic field.
Proper Handling of Compact Disks
Compact disks (CD-ROMs) require special handling to prevent damage.
• Do not place a CD-ROM in direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity.
• Hold a CD-ROM by the edges.
• Replace a CD-ROM in its case after use.
Sample Volumes
Sample containers must contain an adequate volume of test specimen to ensure
accurate aspiration. Refer to the IMMAGE Immunochemistry Systems
Chemistry
Information Manual
and the Sampling Template for information regarding volume
requirements.
CAUTION
Use extreme care when removing bar coded or labeled glass sample tubes
from the IMMAGE 800 sample racks to avoid breakage. Rotating the tube
slightly while pushing from the bottom of the tube may make removal
easier.
