The centrifuge rotor speed is monitored for the duration of the centrifuge cycle. If the instrument
cannot reach speed due to a malfunction, an alarm will sound and an error code will be displayed.
An incomplete cycle voids all results. See Section 6 - Troubleshooting and Error Codes.
You can cancel a cycle in progress by pressing the centrifuge Stop button. An incomplete cycle
voids all results.
At the conclusion of the ten-minute spin, the completion alarm will beep three times and the time
display will flash 00:00.

NOTE: Check the centrifuge rotor regularly for signs of damage. The centrifuge must not be used

.

5. Close the centrifuge lid.
CAUTION: ID-MTS Gel cards placed incorrectly in the centrifuge card holders may
result in incorrect results. Always verify ID-MTS Gel cards are seated firmly in the
card holder.
CAUTION: Incomplete, interrupted or multiple cycles may produce erroneous
results. When in doubt, discard the cards and repeat the test.
WARNING: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
WARNING: A pinch hazard exists if the centrifuge lid is opened before the rotor
stops spinning. Allow the rotor to come to a complete stop before opening the lid.
