Safety Warnings
This product has a laser system classification of Class 1 which uses four embedded Class 3B lasers.
With nominal outputs of 300 mW (532 nm), 140 mW (637 nm), 75 mW (473 nm) and 90 mW (785 nm)
optical power (nominal wavelength).
A Class 1 laser is safe under all conditions of normal use.
A Class 3B laser is hazardous if the eye is exposed directly, but diffuse reflections such as those from paper or other
matte surfaces are not harmful. Protective eyewear is typically required where direct viewing of a class 3B laser
beam may occur. Class-3B lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock. DO NOT OPEN the
front cover of the Irys Instrument as you may come in contact with a Class 3B Laser.
1. Do not connect any item to the Irys Instrument unless specifically stated within this manual or if you are instructed
to do so by BioNano Genomics Technical Support.
2. Do not use adjacent to or stacked with other equipment such that it is difficult to operate or disconnect from
power.
3. Do not attach the power cord to an extension cord or to a multiple portable socket. Doing so may compromise
shielding and/or grounding.
Table 2: Symbols
