Introduction

This guide provides important safety information on the Sequel™ System 
from Pacific Biosciences. It also provides product compliance and regula-
tory statements. Read this document before performing any proce-
dures on the Sequel System.

Safety Words

Four safety alert words may appear in Pacific Biosciences’ documents. 
Each alert word represents a certain level of observation or action:

IMPORTANT!

Indicates information that is necessary for proper system operation, 
accurate chemistry kit use, or safe use of a chemical. 

CAUTION!

Indicates a potentially hazardous event that, if not avoided, may result 
in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe 
practices.

WARNING!

Indicates a potentially hazardous event that, if not avoided, could result 
in death or serious injury.

DANGER!

Indicates an imminently hazardous event that, if not avoided, will result 
in death or serious injury. This alert word is limited to the most extreme 
situations.

Except for 

IMPORTANT!

, each safety alert word will appear with an 

open triangle figure that contains a hazard symbol. These symbols are 
similar to the hazard symbols that are affixed to the instrument.
