Chapter 1: Introduction
This equipment is designed for use in a PROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE FACILITY ENVIRONMENT. It is likely to perform
incorrectly if used in a HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT. If it is suspected that performance is affected by electromagnetic
interference, correct operation may be restored by increasing the distance between the equipment and the source of the
interference.
In addition, other equipment can radiate RF energy to which this device is sensitive. If one suspects interference between this
device and other equipment, Leica Biosystems recommends the following actions to correct the interference:
`
Evaluate the electromagnetic environment before installation and operation of this device.
`
Do not operate this device close to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (for example: unshielded intentional
RF sources), as these can interfere with proper operation. Examples of unshielded intentional radiators are handheld
radio transmitters, cordless phones, and cellular phones.
`
Do not place this device near medical electrical equipment that can be susceptible to malfunctions caused by close
proximity to electromagnetic fields.
`
This device has been designed and tested to CISPR 11 Class A emission limits. In a domestic environment, this
device can cause radio interference, in which case, you need to take measures to mitigate the interference.
Instrument Warnings
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the scanner to rain or moisture.
Misuse of electrical equipment can cause electrocution, burns, fires, and other hazards
