Safety Notice
Summary of Hazards
Electric Shock Hazards
Replacement or servicing of any components where contact with bare, live hazardous parts could
occur, possibly resulting in electric shock, should only be performed by qualified service personnel.
Flammable Materials Hazards
Do not use this system in the presence of flammable materials.
Hazardous/Biohazardous Substances Hazards
When handling a spill of blood or other potentially hazardous substances, clean up the spill by using
a 10% bleach solution, or use your laboratory decontamination solution. Then follow your
laboratory procedure for disposal of hazardous materials. If the UniCel DxC system needs to be
decontaminated, call your Beckman Coulter Service Representative for assistance.
ISE Module Hazards
Pinch hazard. Keep fingers clear of the ISE module as you lower it.
Moving Parts Hazard
Do not place hands near any moving part while the system is operating. Lower and/or close
protective guards and covers during operation.
No Foam Reagent Pressurization Hazard
The No Foam container is pressurized during system operation and must be properly depressurized
prior to servicing to avoid sudden depressurization and potential exposure of the skin or eyes to the
No Foam solution. To release the air pressure, disconnect the white quick connector located at the
supply side of the container. If inhaled, move exposed individual to fresh air. If skin or eye contact
with the solution occurs, flush the affected area thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. In
both cases seek medical attention. Refer to the No Foam Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for
additional information.
