3.3 Eye Safety and Burn Hazard
The light source module and the connecting fiber optic cables produce intense light that can cause
eye damage. The module uses a tungsten halogen lamp bulb that operates at a high temperature,
which if exposed to a user's skin, could cause a burn.
\
3.4 Mechanical Safety
The imaging chamber of the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III is heavy and weighs 160 lbs. (73 kg).
The IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III has many internal motorized components that can move at any
time. The imaging stage can move when the door is open. Care should be taken to keep hands and
equipment away from the sides of the platform when it is moving. Never place anything underneath
the platform.
Do not attempt to put anything into the lens opening of the camera as there are optical components
that can be compromised or damaged.
If the imaging chamber makes an unusual noise or appears to be jammed, turn off the power switch
located on the back of the instrument.
The X-ray scintillation plate is a delicate part and should not be handled with bare hands or sprayed
with cleaning agents.

WARNING!
DO NOT operate the light source module or the fluorescence
equipment without all of the fiber optic cables connected at both of their end
connections.
!
WARNING!
Do not attempt to replace the tungsten halogen lamp or lamp
assembly in the light source module. Lamp replacement requires PerkinElmer
Technical Support (see
) because access to the lamp could expose the
user to dangerous voltages and the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III will require
recalibration after replacement of the halogen lamp or lamp assembly.
IMPORTANT:
The IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III may only be moved on the XWS-260
Workstation. See
for instructions.
!
WARNING!
If the gas hoses become caught, kinked, or disconnected, do not
operate the instrument. Over exposure to anesthesia gas may occur.
!
CAUTION:
DO NOT touch or expose the four diffusing reflectors and the exposed
emission filter to contaminants (see
), as this may impair
imaging performance. The reflectors' surfaces have been surface treated for
optimum light diffusion.
