Operational Safety
The instrument is designed to be used under the following environmental conditions:
indoors;
altitude up to 2 000 m;
temperature from 5 °C up to 35 °C;
maximum relative humidity of 80% for the temperature up to 25 °C;
main voltage from 100 up to 220 V, frequency 50/60 Hz.
The istrument is IVD medical equipment and it is intended for studing of DNA samples using
the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and the detection of the accumulated product in
real time (real-time PCR). The instrument does not carry a direct biological hazard. Servicing
and maintainance of the instrument should be performed by specially trained, qualified staff.
While operation with the instrument:
wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and secure eyes and face;
do not pipette solutions by mouth;
do not eat, drink, smoke or use cosmetic products in the operational area;
after handling samples and chemical reagents wash your hands carefully;
dispose of leftover / used reagents and waste in compliance with the regulations in
force;
read the instruction for use provided with the PCR kit before running the assay;
while running the assay, follow the instructions for use;
do not use a PCR kit after its expiration date;
use only the chemical reagents provided along with the kit and those, which are
recommended by the manufacturer;
do not mix chemical reagents from different PCR kits or lots.
Environmental Effect
Deinstallation of the instrument for maintenance or recycling purposes: if properly operated,
the device doesn’t bear biologically hazardous.
Recycling of the instrument should be carried out in accordance with the regulations in force
at the area. The device does not contain any substances, which may represent a direct threat to
