1 Safe Usage and Handling Precautions
1.3 Biohazards and Disposal
Items such as measured slides, tips, mixing cups, and sample tubes coated with samples such as
blood and urine, and cotton swabs and cloths used to clean the equipment are infectious industrial
waste. Process this waste in compliance with any applicable regulations in your country, such as
by incineration, melting, sterilization, or disinfection. Furthermore, when entrusting disposal to an-
other party, request processing from a contractor with a license for special management of industrial
waste processing work.
Items that may be contaminated with blood or urine are infectious industrial waste. When discarding
the main unit, follow applicable regulations in your country and dispose of it appropriately.
Process waste correctly, as stipulated by local law or any regulations that apply.
When discarding the FDC NX600 that incorporates the lithium battery, be sure to contact a licensed
waste disposal contractor because it cannot be disposed of as a general waste.
Not doing so may cause environmental pollution.
Before discarding the main unit, you must delete the measurement results (personal information)
stored on the main unit. Contact your dealer before discarding.
When handling samples (blood or urine) and performing maintenance (cleaning the analyzer), al-
ways follow biohazard procedures (wear gloves, a lab coat, and safety goggles) in accordance with
the sample handling rules of your facility. If you accidentally touch a sample, immediately rinse the
contaminated area thoroughly under running water, and then disinfect the area. Seek medical assis-
tance if necessary.
Do not touch used slides and tips with bare hands as this may cause contamination. If you acciden-
tally touch a contaminated consumable, immediately rinse the contaminated area thoroughly under
running water, and then disinfect the area. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
When samples come in contact with the analyzer, immediately clean and disinfect it.
