Upgrading Luminex xPONENT Release 3.0 to Release 3.1 SP1 - For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
2
Your Luminex system should also have a Luminex XYP with a UL mark on the back (UL),
purchased after May 30, 2001. Older versions do not contain hardware that enables the
Luminex analyzer to maintain and detect sampling position errors. To confirm that the XYP
meets this requirement, contact Luminex Technical Support with the serial number. If you
purchased the Luminex XYP prior to May 30, 2001, return it to Luminex in exchange for a
replacement. Contact Luminex Technical Support for the shipping address and a Return
Material Authorization (RMA). If you do not return the Luminex XYP within 30 days of the
date you ordered the upgrade kit, you will be billed for the full price of the Luminex XYP.
WARNING: Installing this upgrade kit on a system that includes an XY
platform purchased before May 30, 2001 can cause hardware
damage not covered by either the warranty or Luminex service
agreements.
If the Luminex system includes a sheath dispenser, it should also be UL approved. Locate
the UL mark on the back.
