2. Intended Use
2. Intended Use
PAULA the Personal Automated Lab Assistant has been designed for cell culture routine cell checks and ba-
sic cell assays. It can be placed inside the cell culture incubator or outside on a clean bench or standard lab
bench. Up to 4 digital imagers can be combined to acquire simultaneously images and t-lapse series.
Directives of European Community (EC-Directives)
The PAULA system described here fulfills the requirements of EU Directive 2014/53/EU concerning Radio
Equipment Devices and has been declared accordingly. The microscope also fulfills the EU Directive 2014/35/
EU concerning the safety of electrical equipment and 2014/30/EU concerning electromagnetic.
The complete system does not conform to the requirements of an IVD device according to 98/79/EC According
to the VO1194/2012 regulation regarding the implementation of the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC, micro-
scopes are considered special products. The light sources in this instrument are special lamps which are only
suitable for microscopes. They are not suitable for general lighting purposes or room lighting.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The following are prohibited:
Using PAULA system for any purpose not in accordance with the Declaration of Conformity (e.g. using it as
an in-vitro diagnostic product according to Council Directive 98/79/EC or as a medical product according to
Council Directive 93/42/EEC)
Cleaning PAULA ( digital imager and NUC PC) in a way other than specified in the manual
Using another power supply that Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH has not provided or permitted
Allowing unauthorized personnel to open the device
Installing PAULA in a way other that Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH has specified in this manual
Using cables that Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH has not provided or permitted
Using PAULA in other environmental conditions than specified in this manual
Using combinations with non-Leica components that go beyond the scope of the manual
To put the power supplies, Intel NUC PC or Monitor/Tablet in the incubator
Caution!
The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage caused by, or any risks arising from, using the microscope
for other purposes than those for which they are intended or not using them within the specifications of Leica
Microsystems CMS GmbH.
In such cases, the Declaration of Conformity shall be invalid.

2. Intended Use
WARNING
Notes on handling laser devices
In the standard design without additional laser safety precautions, the microscopes are not suitable for cou-
pling laser radiation (such as to the camera ports), since this radiation poses a hazard for the user (eye injury
in particular).
For use of the microscope with lasers, Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH offers special microscope variants
with additional safety features. Laser couplings require corresponding safety devices that have to be inspect-
ed and installed by trained personnel.
For further information, please contact your authorized Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH representative.
Due to the special sources of danger of the laser system, only those persons may use the systems who have
received special training in working with the system, observing the specific hazards of a laser system.

3.1 General safety notes
Caution!
PAULA is a device of protection class 3 which is constructed and tested in accordance with EN 61010-1/IEC
61010-1, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use and EN
61326-1/ IEC 61326-1, Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use – EMC requirements.
It also meets the requirements ETSI EN 301489, Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equip-
ment and services Part 1 and Part 17, ETSI EN303446-1 ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for com-
bined and/or integrated radio and non-radio equipment. – EMC requirements.
It also complies with EN 62471 / IEC 62471, Photo-biological safety of lamps and lamp systems, and belongs to
the exempt level (no photobiological risk).
Attention!
In order to maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must follow the instructions and
warnings contained in this user manual.
The instruments and accessories described in this manual have been safety-tested and checked for possible
hazards. The responsible Leica affiliate or the main plant in Wetzlar must be consulted whenever the instru-
ment is altered, modified or used in conjunction with non-Leica components that are outside of the scope of
this manual.
It is not allowed to put the power supplies, PC, or monitor/tablet into the incubator. Only PAULA is appropriate
for this application.
Caution!
Unauthorized alterations to the device or noncompliant use shall void all rights to any warranty claims and
product liability!
In addition to this manual, the safety notes of the other manuals provided must be observed!
Only personnel who has been instructed by authorized Leica personnel may operate the microscope!
PAULAs electrical accessory components are not protected against water. Water can cause electric shock.
Do not plug in or unplug data lines and control circuits unless the instrument is switched off; otherwise, the
instrument may be damaged.
