Chemical and biological hazards
The proper handling of the Medimachine II disposable minimizes exposure to the samples. However,
potential hazards to the operator still exist. The operator must choose and wear personal safety
equipment in accordance with warnings and precautions for the used substances. Defective or
inadequate safety equipment might endanger the operator.
The Medimachine II must be operated within a safety enclosure when hazardous or unknown materials
are processed, to protect persons and the laboratory environment from contamination.
All liquid and solid waste must be considered biohazardous and, therefore, must be handled taking
universal laboratory precautions. All clinical samples must be considered potentially infectious.
Toxic or corrosive chemicals, poisonous, acidic, or radioactive substances may be present.
It is strictly prohibited for anyone other than the operator to handle contaminated accessories or
contaminated parts of the Medimachine II.
Servicing
Unless otherwise mentioned in the C.T.S.V. srl documentation, do not service the equipment yourself.
Service needed on components inside the instrument must be carried out only by personnel trained
and authorized by C.T.S.V. srl.
