1.2.2 Safety Cautions

CAUTION

1. Do not use the analyzer in a dusty environment with bad ventilation or in the

presence of corrosives.

2. To avoid misdiagnosis, make sure that the time and date of the system are correct.

3. The system is only intended to analyze whole blood samples. Never use it to analyze

serum or plasma.

4. If there are clots or bubbles in the blood sample, discard it and collect samples again.

5. Perform the sample test immediately after its collection to get the most accurate

results. Measure samples for blood gases and Ca

within 10 minutes, and measure

samples for other analytes within 30 minutes.

6. Transport, store and use the analyzer, test cartridges, calibrant fluid packs and

controls according to the user manual.

7. Only those accessories (such as test cartridges, calibrant fluid packs, controls, etc)

supplied by EDAN or its authorized distributors should be used.

8. Connect the analyzer with those peripherics recommended by EDAN.

9. Maintain the system as described in the user manual to avoid potential damage.

10. Do not clean the analyzer and accessories with abrasive fabric.

11. Do not immerse the analyzer into liquid under any circumstances.

12. Make sure that there is no intense electromagnetic interference source around the

analyzer, such as radio transmitters, mobile phones etc. Attention: large medical

electrical equipment such as electrosurgical equipment, radiological equipment and

magnetic resonance imaging equipment is likely to bring electromagnetic

interference.

13. Extreme humidity may affect test results. A relative humidity greater than 80% may

cause inaccurate results.

14. Use this system at a temperature between 10°C and 31°C. Outside this range, the

system may produce inaccurate results.
