To reduce the risks associated with strangulation due to the carrying pouch strap:
• keep the pouch away from children.
To reduce the risks associated with entanglement due to the carrying pouch strap:
• use care when operating near machinery.
To reduce the risks associated with fire and explosion:
• do not dispose of battery or luminometer in fire.
• do not use or store the luminometer, docking station, printer or power supply in potentially flammable or
explosive environments. The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ System was not designed to be categorized as "Intrinsically
Safe".
• do not short circuit the battery.
To reduce the risks associated with illness or infection:
• do not use the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ System in the diagnosis of conditions in humans or animals.
• do not use the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ System as an indication of sterility of surfaces or solutions
CAUTION
Read, understand and follow all safety information contained in the associated kit user instruction insert
prior to use.
To reduce the risks associated with exposure to chemicals:
• always wear protective apparel and eye protection while using these products.
To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination:
• follow applicable regulations when disposing of the luminometer, docking station, printer, power supply and battery.
• follow industry standards for disposal of contaminated waste including used or expired test kits.
NOTICE
To avoid exposure to contaminated surface, water, or beverage outside the users validated RLU
specifications:
• handle the sensitive 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometer with care.
• do not use if damaged.
• do not use an out-of-calibration 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometer. Contact an authorized 3M Service Center for
service and calibration.
• always remove the sample before switching OFF.
• use only reagents or accessories supplied by your local 3M distributor.
• use and store reagent test kits in accordance with the instructions provided with the kit.
• perform tests in the temperature range between 15-25°C. A lower reading will be seen at temperatures below
15°C. However, if tests are always performed at this lower temperature, consistent results can be obtained.
• do not use the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometer if liquid or a foreign objects gets inside.
• do not store in environments greater than 90% relative humidity and 40°C.
To avoid damage to luminometer:
• do not use a power supply other than the one specified by 3M.
• ensure the battery is attached to the Clean-Trace NG Luminometer before connecting to the power supply.
• do not store the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer or Docking Station at temperatures above 40°C.
• do not store the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer or Docking Station at temperatures below 4°C as
condensation may occur. The instrument should be allowed to warm to room temperature before use and a cloth
or tissue used to wipe dry the outer surfaces.
