2.2. Safety Precautions
Electronic and moving parts:
The following parts must not be handled or checked by the user:
- Electrical power supply.
- Electronic circuit boards.
◆Operator injury may occur from an electric shock. Electronic components can
shock and injure the user. Do not tamper with the instrument and do not re-
move any components (covers, doors, panels and so on) unless otherwise in-
structed within this document.
◆Moving parts: It is strictly forbidden to disable sensors as it may cause op-
erator injuries. Protection covers must not be opened during instrument op-
erations.
◆The battery may explode if it is not replaced correctly! Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommanded by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2.3. Biological risks
Consider all specimens, reagents, calibrators, controls, etc… that contain hu-
man blood or serum as potentially infectious ! Use established, good laborato-
ry working practices when handling specimens. Wear protective gear, gloves,
lab coats, safety glasses and/or face shields, and follow other bio-safety prac-
tices as specified in OSHA Blood Borne Pathogens Rule (29 CFR part 1910.
1030) or equivalent bio-safety procedures.
HORIBA ABX uses disinfectant product for instrument decontamination and highly recommends it
to decontaminate your instrument (See Section 6, 1.1.3. General Cleaning of the Instrument,
page 6-3)
3. Working conditions

than 10°C (50°F), the instrument should stand for 1 hour at the correct room temperature before
use.
3.5. Electromagnetic environment check
◆The ABX Micros 60 has been designed to produce less than the accepted level of electro-
magnetic interference in order to operate in conformity with its destination, allowing the correct
operation of other instruments also in conformity with their destination.
◆In case of suspected electromagnetic noise, check that the instrument has not been placed in the
proximity of electromagnetic fields or short wave emissions, (i. e. Radar, X-rays, Scanners, Cell
phones, etc...)

6. Intended use
The ABX Micros 60 OS/OT is a fully automated (Microprocessor controlled) Hematology an-
alyzer used for in-vitro diagnostics testing of Whole Blood specimens and Whole Blood component
concentrates.
Important: When analyzing Whole Blood component concentrates, you must
consider the Linear Range of the component parameter and its associated pa-
rameters if any. These concentrates may prematurely pollute the counting ap-
erture when analyzing them. It is suggested that you perform 3 Backflushes
and/or a Concentrated Cleaning after analyzing the concentrates.
The ABX Micros 60 OS/OT is available in 5, 8, 16, and 18 parameters. These parameters are
noted according to the system setup (See Section 1, 1.1. Parameters, page 1-3)
The Rate of determination is approximately 60 samples per hour in the optimum configuration. The
system is totally automated,including an internal dilution system, and a Graphic printer for record-
ing all test results including flags and graphics.
7. Presentation
