A doctor must interpret the clinical significance of an ESR value obtained from
abnormal samples, including but not limited to icteric or lipemic samples,
samples with anemic conditions, low hemoglobin concentrations, hemolysis, or
any other pathological condition which can interfere or impede a clear reading
of the sedimentation. ESR testing performed on anomalous samples using
manual or automated methods are subject to a high degree of variability. In the
CUBE 30 touch, these samples may be undetected or they may yield varying
results; for this reason, a visual inspection of the sample at the conclusion of
the test is recommended, to verify the presence of a clear interface between
the plasma and sedimented cells.
Materials required for use of the instrument
To use the instrument, materials must come
exclusively
from those
manufactured by DIESSE DIAGNOSTICA SENESE S.p.A. (Always read the
instructions for use which accompany each product before its use); any other
part or accessory used in the instrument may cause damage or incorrect
results. The manufacturer therefore declines all responsibility for damages
deriving from inappropriate use.
WARNINGS
While the CUBE 30 touch system provides a high level of safety in handling
biological samples, please take all necessary precautions when handling
potentially infected material. Waste material at the end of the cycle must be
processed in accordance with the local waste requirements.
DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURE
The CUBE 30 touch has been designed and constructed to require minimal
maintenance.
Before any maintenance work:
-
Power off the instrument and disconnect it from the power source.
