If available, use appropriate biological waste collection services. Only when no biological waste collection service available, follow the vial disinfection procedure below: Add 1ml of concentrated liquid bleach to vial containing sample. Close, shake, wait 15 minutes. Pour content in sanitary drain. Dispose of singleuse plastic vials as trash, or, if available, recycle as polypropylene (PP) Important Safety Information: · Read the reagent Material's Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before use. · Wear protective gloves when dealing with potentially contaminated samples. · Protect clothing from bleach projections to avoid staining. · Keep instrument and battery dry and protected from the elements · Ensure that reagent is within its validity period. · Do not leave device in direct sunlight. Max. ambient temperature: 37oC. · Do not tilt the device while performing a measurement. Alarm will sound. Product Warning The reagents used with this product cause rapid multiplication of E.coli and other potentially harmful biological substances. Used samples and reagents should never be disposed directly into the environment or drinking water sources. This product and all associated reagents and consumables should never be used or accessed by unsupervised children. 4 www.fluidion.com
