MiniCollect Microtube and carrier tube are
separated (for example, Serum 450533, EDTA
450530, and Carrier tube 450417).
Otherwise, no processing can be performed on the
laboratory automation system (LAS).
CAUTION: Risk of injury due to incorrect use of sample tubes. Incorrectly used
sample tubes can cause gripper malfunctions. Spilled sample matter can cause
contamination and severe injuries to the operator. Inadequate sample volume in sample
tubes causes delays in diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Only use sample tubes that are approved for the LAS.
Immediately clean any contaminated areas of the LAS by using a laboratory-grade
surface disinfectant.
If a sample is spilled, ensure that the sample volume in the sample tube is adequate
to perform the remaining tests.
