WARNING!
LASER HAZARD.
The QuantStudio
™
6 Pro System and the
QuantStudio
™
7 Pro System are compatible with an optional Handheld Barcode
Scanner. Lasers can burn the retina, causing permanent blind spots. To ensure safe
laser operation:
·
Never look directly into the laser beam.
·
Do not remove safety labels, instrument protective panels, or defeat safety
interlocks.
·
The system must be installed and maintained by a Thermo Fisher Scientific
Technical Representative.
·
Remove jewelry and other items that can reflect a laser beam into your eyes or
those of others
·
Wear proper eye protection and post a laser warning sign at the entrance to the
laboratory if the laser protection is defeated for servicing
·
DO NOT operate the laser when it cannot be cooled by its cooling fan; an
overheated laser can cause severe burns on contact.
The following table lists laser safety symbols and alerts that may be present on the
instrument.
