Personnel safety
Warning
Personnel are not permitted to reach into the working area of a Sample
Processor while operations are running!
A considerable risk of injury exists for users who undertake manual
interventions to the automatic running of the instrument.
The various drives of a sample processor (including Swing Head) exhibit
considerable force in order to be able to operated without difficulty, even
with greater loads. They are equipped with an electronic overload protection
that is activated in the presence of excessive mechanical resistance.
Warning
The Sample Processor does not provide sufficient protection during the
processing of potentially infectious samples or reagents.
Implement appropriate protective measures.
