The cassette is delivered to sites using a hard case with foam cassette shaped cut-outs. This
should have a caution and a biohazard sign on it. The case will arrive with a security tie and
test security seal label. The security tie and label should not be broken until such time as the
cassette is required for use. A test certificate is enclosed confirming calibration and
performance.
Cassette probes are sharp
The cassette should be regarded as a biohazard.

The circuit boards within the BV200 should be regarded as
sensitive to static.
When printed circuit boards are being transported, it is recommended that they are wrapped in
an antistatic bag with a static warning label on it. A suitable strong well-padded container or box
should be used.
