Fluidics
The Luminex analyzer contains fluidics. In the event of a fluid leak,
turn off all power to the system and disconnect all power cords.
Remember that the on/off switch is not a disconnect means - the
power cord must be removed from the outlet. Contact Luminex
Corporation for further information.
You must manually monitor waste levels. Do not allow the waste
container to overflow. You can avoid this by emptying the waste
container each time you fill the sheath fluid container. Do not place
the waste container on top of the analyzer.
Be careful not to touch the seal in the waste bottle cap or allow it to
become wet or dirty. This could cause the bottle to become
pressurized, causing pressure errors in the system. If the seal gets
wet, let it air-dry. Touching the seal can contaminate it. If it gets
dirty, you should replace the waste bottle cap.
To maintain a stable flow rate, do not move the waste container or
waste line during system operation. While you can move the line
along a horizontal surface, do not permanently reroute the waste line
elevation without first contacting Technical Support. You can move
the line temporarily for cleaning and maintenance purposes.
United States and international regulations require the following
warnings to appear on the analyzer during operation and
maintenance.
This label appears on the back panel of the analyzer:
