of procedures other than those specified in this manual can result

in hazardous radiation exposure.

The bar code reader laser presents a potential hazard to eyesight.

DANGER: Do not stare into the barcode reader beam or shine it into other

people’s eyes.

Fluidics

This instrument contains fluids. In the event of a fluid leak, turn off all power to the system

and disconnect all power cords. The on/off switch is not a method of disconnection; the

power cord must be removed from the outlet. Contact Luminex Technical Support for further

information.

DANGER: Do not operate the instrument in the presence of leaking fluid.

Optimally, the waste line should be routed to a laboratory drain. If you use a waste container,

monitor waste fluid levels periodically. The volume of the waste container should be at least

as large as the volume of the sheath container. Do not allow the waste fluid container to

overflow. Empty the waste fluid container each time you replace or fill the sheath fluid

container. Place the waste fluid container at least three feet below the surface on which the

Luminex

FLEXMAP 3D

instrument rests. Do not place the waste fluid container on top of

the instrument. Do not move the waste line vertically while the

FLEXMAP 3D

instrument is

running, and make certain the waste container is properly vented. Contact Luminex Technical

Support before relocating the waste fluid container or rerouting the waste line.

CAUTION: Reagents may contain sodium azide as a preservative. Sodium

azide is toxic and may also react with lead and copper plumbing

to form highly explosive metal azides. On disposal, flush drains

with a generous amount of cold water to prevent azide build-up.

Consult the manual guideline “Safety Management No. CDC-22,

Decontamination of Laboratory Sink Drains to remove Azide

salts” (Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia, April 30,

1976).

Biological Samples

Human and animal samples may contain biohazardous infectious agents.

Where exposure to potentially biohazardous material exists, follow

appropriate biosafety procedures and use personal protective equipment

(PPE). PPE includes gloves, gowns, laboratory coats, face shields or mask

and eye protection, respirators, and ventilation devices. Observe all local,

state, federal and country specific biohazard handling regulations when

disposing of biohazardous waste material.

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
