Electrical Safety
The CELL-DYN Emerald system does not pose uncommon electrical hazards to operators if it is installed and operated without
alteration, and is connected to a power source that meets required specifications.
Basic electrical hazard awareness is essential to the safe operation of any system. Only qualified field service personnel should
perform electrical servicing. Elements of electrical safety include, but are not limited to the following:
Periodically inspect electrical cabling into and on the system for signs of wear and damage.
Turn the instrument OFF before disconnecting the power cord and before cleaning, servicing, or performing maintenance on
any electrical or internal component.
In the event of a blown fuse or thrown circuit breaker, determine the cause and correct the problem before attempting to
resume operation of the equipment. Replace only the fuses that are externally accessible and labeled. Only use replacement
fuses of the specified type and electrical rating.
Assure the power to the instrument is turned OFF. A high voltage charge may remain on the power supply with the power
OFF. Use an electrically insulated tool to disconnect the power supply and short (both male pins) to the instrument chassis.
Keep liquids away from all connectors of electrical or communication components. Unplug the instrument before clean-up of
major liquid spills. Clean spilled fluids immediately.
Do not touch any switches or outlets with wet hands.
Keep the floor dry and clean under and around the system.
Use only approved power cords and electrical accessories, such as those supplied with the instrument, to protect against
electric shock. Connect power cords only to properly grounded outlets.
It is recommended that a ground fault circuit interrupter be used when working in a wet environment.
Mechanical Hazards
The CELL-DYN Emerald system is an automated system that operates under computer control. As with most automated
equipment, there is potential for injury and bodily harm from moving mechanical components whenever the instrument is in
operation. The system minimizes mechanical hazards by providing guards to protect against accidental contact with moving
components, and encoding the software with safety features.
Operators of the CELL-DYN Emerald system are potentially exposed to moving mechanical components such as the syringe panel.
Use caution when performing any maintenance procedure on the syringe panel as moving parts can pinch.
Basic elements of mechanical equipment safety include but are not limited to:
Never bypass or override a safety device.

Keep all protective covers and barriers in place.
Never perform manual tasks on the work surface of the System.
Never allow any part of your body to enter a range of mechanical movement during System operation.
Do not wear articles of clothing or accessories that could catch on the System.
Keep pockets free of items that could fall into the System.
Be especially cautious when performing adjustment, maintenance, cleaning, or repair procedures.
Use caution when loading reagents.
In the event of an instrument malfunction or an unexpected sequence of movements, be aware that unexpected field service
personnel reflex actions could occur, causing injury.
Biological Hazards
The following activities may involve the presence of biological materials:
Handling samples, reagents, calibrators, and controls

Cleaning spills
Handling and disposing of waste
Moving the System
Performing maintenance procedures
Performing decontamination procedures
Performing component replacement procedures
Precautions
Consider all clinical specimens, reagents, controls, and calibrators that contain human sourced material and instrument surfaces or
components that have come in contact with human sourced material as potentially infectious. No known test method can offer
complete assurance that products derived from human sourced material or instrument components exposed to human sourced
material will not transmit infection. Therefore, all products derived from human sourced materials and instrument components
exposed to human sourced material should be considered potentially infectious. It is recommended that all potentially infectious
materials be handled in accordance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Rule (29 CFR Part 1910.1030) or other equivalent
biosafety procedures.
Precautions include, but are not limited to the following:
Wear gloves, lab coats, and protective eye wear when handling human sourced material or contaminated instrument
components.
Do not pipet by mouth.
Do not eat, drink, smoke, apply cosmetics, or handle contact lenses when handling human sourced material or contaminated
instrument components.
Clean spills of potentially infectious materials and contaminated instrument components with an appropriate tuberculocidal
disinfectant, such as 0.5% sodium hypochlorite or other suitable disinfectant.
Decontaminate and dispose of all specimens, reagents, and other potentially contaminated materials in accordance with
local, state, and federal regulations.
If you are exposed to biohazardous or potentially infectious materials you should seek medical attention immediately and take the
following steps to cleanse the affected area:
Eyes-rinse with water for 15 minutes.

Mouth-rinse with water.
Skin-wash the affected area with soap and water.
Puncture wound-allow to bleed freely. Wash the affected area with soap and water.
Sharps
Probes, needles, aspiration probes are sharp and potentially contaminated with infectious materials. Avoid contact with the tips of
these parts.
Handling Spills
Clean spills in accordance with established biosafety practices. In general, safe work practices for cleaning spills include:
1. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

2. Absorb the spill with absorbent material.
3. Wipe the spill area with detergent solution.
4. Wipe the area with an appropriate tuberculocidal disinfectant such as a 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution.
5. Dispose of spilled and contaminated material in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Instrument or Part Decontamination
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (protective eye wear, gloves, lab coat) while performing decontamination
activities. Prior to service or maintenance, the instrument should be decontaminated in accordance with the following:
1. Remove and dispose of contaminated disposables in a regulated medical waste container.

2. Clean and decontaminate the exterior of the instrument using a detergent solution followed by a 0.5% sodium hypochlorite
solution or other tuberculocidal disinfectant. Flush the fluid pathway as specified in the CELL-DYN Emerald System
Operations Manual. For information on preparing the proper concentration of sodium hypochlorite solution, refer to Appendix
C in CELL-DYN Emerald Operator's Manual.
Caution
Under normal circumstances, printed circuit boards do not require decontamination. Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)
enclosed inside the skins of computer and peripheral equipment are not considered to be contaminated.
Decontamination may affect the performance of a printed circuit board or internal computer component.
Handling Waste
Dispose of all potentially infectious materials (clinical specimens, reagents, controls, calibrators, standards, cuvettes, liquid
consumables, and contaminated gloves, wipes, swabs, and other disposables that may be contaminated) in accordance with local,
state, and federal regulations.
Sharps, such as probes, needles, broken glass, slides and other sharps that are contaminated with potentially infectious
substances, should be placed in an appropriately labeled, puncture resistant and leak proof container before treatment and
disposal.
Chemical Hazards
You may be exposed to hazardous chemicals when handling reagents, calibrators, controls, or liquid consumables. Exposure to
hazardous chemicals is minimized by following instructions provided in the assay-specific Package Inserts and Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS). Exposure levels are further reduced by the design features of the instrument when it is used properly.
Precautions
In general, observe the following precautions when handling chemicals:
Consult Material Safety Data Sheets for safe use instructions and precautions.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact with material is anticipated, wear impervious gloves and protective eye wear and
clothing.
Always maintain good housekeeping. Do not eat, drink, or store food and beverages in areas where chemicals are used.
If irritation or signs of toxicity occur after exposure, seek medical attention.
Hazard symbols that display on CELL-DYN Emerald system product labeling are accompanied by Risk (R) and Safety (S) numbers
and represent specific risk and safety phrases as defined by European Community Directives. The risk and safety phrases describe
precautions to be used when working with a particular chemical or chemical mixture. For all (R) and (S) numbers that display on
product labeling, refer to the corresponding phrases indicated in the Package Insert or similar document.
Physical Hazards
Sharps and Probes
The probe, vent needle, and aspiration probe are sharp and potentially contaminated with infectious materials. Avoid contact and
handle cautiously to prevent injury. Never reach into the instrument while it is in operation.
In general, use of sharps and glassware should be minimized. Use mechanical means to remove contaminated broken glassware.
Dispose of sharps in an appropriately marked, puncture-resistant, and leakproof container before treatment and disposal.
Heavy Objects
The waste container is heavy when full. Use care when handling the container to reduce the risk of injury.
The system is heavy and has unsupported sections of the shell. Ensure that you have adequate help before attempting to move the
system.
Push only on solid sections of the housing; do not exert pressure on unsupported sections of the shell.
Use proper lifting techniques when moving the System.
Trip Hazard
The System is equipped with a power cord and various computer connectors. To avoid a tripping hazard, ensure cords in high
traffic areas are properly stowed.
Radio Frequency Hazard
Do not use mobile telephones, wireless telephones, mobile radios, or any other radio frequency (RF) transmitting devices in the
same room as the instrument.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Many of the electronic components on the System circuit boards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Static discharge
of as little as 100 - 200 volts can damage or destroy a component. To put that in perspective, depending on the floor covering,
relative humidity and other factors, walking across a floor generates between 250 - 35,000 electrostatic volts. Attempts to ground
oneself and remove the static charge by grasping the instrument chassis provides only momentary resolution.
Static Hazard
Static protective procedures are used during the manufacture of PC boards. Replacement PC board assemblies are also protected
by use of static protective packaging as well as boxed to prevent physical damage. Assemblies that have failed and are returned
for repair are also handled at the repair shop under static protection procedures.
Handling Guidelines - PC Subassemblies
These guidelines assure protection against failures created by static.
Retain spare PC board subassemblies in the static-protective bags.

Use an approved static-protective field service kit, or the ground strap shipped with the board, whenever a board is removed
from an instrument or protective bag.
Replace the defective PC board in the same protective bag to return for repair.
Continued use of the protective shipping boxes, both during shipping and storage, eliminates most failures caused by physical
damage.
ESD Procedure
Note
Use where ESD symbol is present and static protective equipment is not shipped with replacement part.
1. Place the work mat on a solid surface close to the instrument, allow the ground strap to reach the instrument.
2. Attach the ground clip to the instrument chassis.
3. Attach the other end of the ground clip cable and the connector from the wrist strap to the work mat. (Exception: Some wrist
strap cables provide a clip to connect to the same ground source as the mat cable).
4. Attach wrist strap to your wrist, make sure the metallic button on the inside of the wrist strap is in direct contact with your
skin.
5. Place PC boards, removed from the instrument, on the work mat.
6. Replacement PC boards should be placed on the work mat before removing from the protective bag and remain on the mat
until installation.
7. Defective PC boards should be replaced in the static-protective bag before removal from the work mat area.

Liquid valve manifold assembly and tubing.
Fluidics Modules
Sampling Module [1]
This module facilitates drawing the sample and performing the WBC and RBC/PLT dilutions. It is assembled with a rotating rocker moving
around a support which allows the system to move up and down the sampling probe. A system of rack-gear moves the rocker. The cleaning
system of the sampling probe and the o-ring of the probe, included in the cleaning system can be removed without tools, making
maintenance of the module easy to perform.
Syringe Module [2]
This module:
draws the sample

distributes the reagents
drains the counting chambers
performs vacuum necessary for counting
and pushes the waste to the waste container.
It is made with a manifold maintaining the fluid commutation valves and with the syringes block including five syringes:
The sampling syringe

The lysis syringe
The two waste and vacuum/pressure syringes
And the diluent syringe.
Only one motor drives the five syringes.
The diluent input and the waste output are also included in this module.
Counting Module [3]
This module allows to count the WBC and RBC/PLT and to measure the HGB. It is made with a manifold maintaining the reagent commutation
valves and the counting block with their measurement block including the apertures.
WBC aperture size is 80µm

RBC aperture size is 50µm
Regarding PLT electrical background, the low threshold value on PLT is 306mV, below that, there are no counts.
Plt count is determined much like other CELL DYN instruments with impedance measurement; fixed at the beginning, floating at the end.

CELL-DYN Emerald System Installation Checklist
CELL-DYN Emerald System Installation/Integration Instructions

Print and complete this checklist during CELL-DYN Emerald System installation. Installation is complete after verifying the device
performs as intended. Verification will be successful after completion of the installation procedure and this checklist. The completed
checklist and associated printouts may be left for the customer to retain with a copy of the service order invoice.
This Installation Checklist contains verification steps that must be entered on the install ticket to complete the installation test and
inspection summary. To do this, add Product List # NNNN-Install as a part used. Select the Install part where NNNN = 0+the 3 digit
product code of the instrument, e.g. 0170-INSTALL for C-D Ruby. Use Action Taken: N360 “Installed Instrument” with Reason for Action:
FA68 “Install VP Documentation”. Click on Get Verification Procedure. This will force the required verification onto the ticket. This part
usage can be added when the ticket is created. This will flag users to document the required VPs prior to closing the ticket.
Verify that any Active Field Action Mandatory TSB that applies to this instrument has been installed prior to closing the
Installation ticket
Note: Installation does not include assay correlation or performance testing that would be included in startup activities.
Note: A translated, locally-approved, copy of this checklist may be provided by the local service area/country organization.
