Operating instructions
3.2.12 Disposal
Reaction modules
The holder for the waste bag (MAGLUMI
®
Waste Bag) for used
reaction modules is located on the right side of the analyzer next to
the measuring chamber.
It is essential to ensure that the waste bag fits correctly
underneath the reaction module exit, otherwise there is a risk
that the analyzer operation will be interrupted due to blockage
of the next reaction module at the edge of the waste bag
When the waste bag is full, it must be removed from its holder,
sealed with the supplied cover and disposed of.
During testing the reaction modules come into contact with
potentially infectious material and therefore must be disposed
of appropriately with the waste bag

Liquids
The supply connections for wash / system liquid along with the two
drain connections for waste 1 and waste 2 for liquid waste are located
on the right side of the analyzer.
Waste 1 (chemical waste)
originates from the measuring chamber
and contains magnetic particles and starter reagents.
Waste 2 (biological waste)
originates from the pipetting system and
from the washer and contains wash / system liquid and liquid from the
reaction modules (patient samples, assay reagents).
