Safety precautions

!

To avoid serious or fatal injury, read and

comply with the following safety precautions.

Insufficient knowledge and skills As an operator, ensure that you know the relevant safety

precaution guidelines and standards and the information

and procedures contained in these instructions.

r Follow standard laboratory practices, especially when

you work with biohazardous material.

Infectious samples In a laboratory, the surface of the mobile device may

come into contact with sample material of human origin.

Therefore, after use in a laboratory, the mobile device

must be treated as potentially biohazardous.

r For disinfection procedures, refer to the instructions

for using mobile devices in your laboratory in

combination with the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Electromagnetic interference The cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series is designed

and tested to CISPR 11, Class A standard. Mobile devices

that emit electromagnetic waves may cause the system to

malfunction.

r Do not operate the mobile device in close proximity to

cobas® 8000 modular analyzer series.

Leak of sensitive information In order to avoid unauthorized access to data, observe the

following instructions:

r Create only encrypted (password-protected) backups

from your mobile device.

Open TCP ports The use of this app requires that the TCP ports 35851-

35853 of the Roche firewall (FortiGate-40C) are open

towards the Roche laboratory network. There is no further

risk associated with this setting. However, we recommend

that you take the following step before you open the

ports:

r Review the laboratory Wi-Fi access and security

settings to keep the laboratory network and the Roche

corporate network secure and protected from external

traffic.
