Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide a reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference‑Causing Equipment Regulations.
Class 1 LED Product
An investigation was conducted on the 3M™ Attest™ Auto‑reader 490 per the requirements of IEC 60825‑1 Ed. 1.2 (A2:2001). The 3M™ Attest™ Auto‑reader 490 is a Class 1 LED product with Class 1 Internal Radiation. The magnitude of the maximum radiant power is 5.25uW.
The LED apertures are located at the bottom of each Incubator/Reader well perpendicular to the opening of each well.
Note: Class 1 products are safe for unprotected exposure of the eyes.
Caution ‑ Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Note: The use of the term “controls” in the above caution statement as required by IEC 60825‑1 Ed. 1.2 (A2:2001) refers to mechanisms by which the 3M™ Attest™ Auto‑reader 490 may be controlled and not to the use of biological indicator controls.
