VIII. Appendix II: Research and Forensic Applications of the Maxwell
®
16 System
This section of the Technical Manual discusses use of the Maxwell
®
16 System for Research and Forensic
applications. Operation of the instrument in Research and Forensic modes, or with kits other than
Cat.# AS1015, has not been demonstrated to comply with EU Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic
medical devices.
The Maxwell
®
16 Clinical Instrument (Cat.# AS2050) i
s supplied configured for use in clinical mode with SEV
(Standard Elution Volume)
hardware
. When used for research or forensic applications, the instrument may
be configured with SEV or LEV (Low Elution Volume) hardware for different elution volume preferences.
See Section VIII.B for instructions on how to configure your instrument in SEV or LEV format.
VIII.A. Operational Mode Setup Requirements
The Maxwell
®
16 Instrument has multiple operational modes, depending on the procedure and the
purification kit used. Table 2 lists the hardware configuration and operational mode requirements for
the Maxwell
®
16 Purification Kits. Please refer to the Technical Manual supplied with your specific
purification kit for further information on the operational mode required.
Table 2. Hardware Configuration and Operational Mode Setup Requirements for Research and
Forensic Applications.
Please ensure that you select the operational mode that is required for your hardware configuration. Failure to
use the correct operational mode and hardware configuration will cause damage to the instrument
.
