Indicates that wearing gloves is mandatory before performing the described operation due to
risk of contact with biological materials.
NOTE

Additional information

DANGER
Misuse of electrical equipment may cause electrocution, burns, fire and other hazards.
Protective grounding is required. Plug the EXCELL 2280 into a supply outlet that has a ground
connection.
Ensure good access to the supply outlet to facilitate unplugging the EXCELL 2280 in case of an
emergency.
Do not place the power supply adapter on wet surfaces, or where it could fall into liquid. If the
power supply adapter becomes wet, unplug it before touching it.
Do not use the EXCELL 2280 if it is non functional, or if it has suffered any damage (damage to
the supply cord or its plug; damage caused by dropping the power supply adapter).
Do not let the power supply adapter or its flexible cord come into contact with surfaces that are too
hot to touch.
Do not place anything on top of the EXCELL 2280
Do not use the EXCELL 2280 where aerosol sprays are being used, or where oxygen is being
administered.
Do not use the EXCELL 2280 outdoors.
Always switch off the EXCELL 2280 and disconnect the power adaptor before dismounting any
part.
The EXCELL 2280 is an automated hematology analyzer for in vitro diagnostic use ONLY , in
clinical laboratories by authorized users.
Only human blood, animal or artificial control blood should be run.
Only the reagents mentioned in this manual are permitted for use.
The optimum performance can only be achieved if the cleaning and maintenance procedures are
carefully followed.
Because this instrument is in contact with blood specimens susceptible to carrying pathogens,
always wear a lab coat, non-powder latex gloves and a facemask when using this equipment. As
recommended by current good laboratory practices (cGLP), always wash hands and clean
workstation with disinfectant after each use.
Use only parts supplied by the Drew Scientific or its authorized distributor.
Basic safety precautions should always be taken. If the equipment is not used according to the
manufacturers instructions, the equipment may become impaired, the results obtained could be
inaccurate and the warranty could become invalid.
The treatment of waste, the disposal of parts and/or the complete instrument must be carried out in
compliance with all local regulations.
Any output or input connections (except the printer and the barcode reader supplied by Drew
Scientific) cannot be modified without the authorization of Drew Scientific or its representative.
Do not attempt to open the door located on the right side of the instrument when a hydraulic cycle
is in progress; doing so will lead to an immediate stop. Should this happen, shut the door and run a
Reset cycle.
