1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 THE AIM OF THE TECHNICAL MANUAL
This manual has been written in order to supply the technical staff, the persons who are responsible
for the maintenance and for resolving instrument failures, a complete and detailed guide of the ILab
300 Plus analyzer, in accordanance with the standard UNI EN591 (which requires a manual to be
supplied with vitro diagnostic instruments for professional use).
1.2 SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The “ILab 300 Plus” system is a continuous-load, random access, bench top instrument for
performing chemical and immuno-turbo-dymetric clinical analysis. It is totally automatic and
computer controlled.
1.3 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
1.3.1 Chemical risks
The individual operator is responsible for assuring that all possible precautionary measures are
taken against eventual risks associated with the use of the “ILab 300 Plus” instrument in clinical
laboratory settings. The manufacturer will provide the reagents kit and specific written information
on the use of each of the reagents.
It is important that the samples be well coagulated and then carefully centrifuged.
Samples which contain fibrinogen clots can obstruct the probe and lead to inexact sampling.
If blood samples containing gel are used, it is suggested that the manufacturer’s recommendations
be followed.
Immediately clean and remove any accidental leakage of reagent or other liquid.
1.3.2 Electrical risks
As with any electrical device, the risk of electric shock exist.
Is therefore necessary to take every precautionary measure possible when working with this, or any
other, electrical instrument to avoid contact with power supply wires, electrical components or
electronic boards.
