DANGER
Misuse of electrical equipment may cause electrocution, burns, fire and other hazards.
Check that the voltage setting matches the supply voltage.
Protective earthing is required, plug the MYTHIC 22 into a supply outlet which has an earth connection.
Preserve a good access to the supply outlet to be able to unplug the MYTHIC 22 in emergency case.
Do not place the power supply adapter in liquid, nor put it where it could fall into liquid. If the power supply adapter
becomes wet, unplug it before touching it.
Do not use the MYTHIC 22 if it is not working properly, or if it has suffered any damage ( damage to the supply cord
or its plug; damaged caused by dropping the power supply adapter).
Do not let the power supply adapter or its flexible cord come into contact with surfaces which are too hot to touch.
Do not place anything on top of the MYTHIC 22
Do not use the MYTHIC 22 where aerosol sprays are being used, or where oxygen is being administred.
Do not use the MYTHIC 22 out of doors
Always switch off the MYTHIC 22 and disconnect the power adaptor before dismantling any part.
The MYTHIC 22 is an automated hematology analyzer for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories by an
authorized people.
- Only human blood or artificial control blood should be run.
- Only the reagents mentioned in this manual are permitted to use.
- The optimum performances can be only achieved if the cleaning and maintenance procedures are carefully
followed.
Due to the use of this equipment, all parts and surfaces of the MYTHIC 22 are potentially infective. Wearing rubber
gloves is highly recommended and after completion of work, wash hands with disinfectant.
Always replace or use parts of the equipment by parts supplied by ORPHEE distributor.
Basic safety precautions should always be taken. If the equipment is not used according to the manufacturer’s
instructions, the protective by the equipment may be impaired.
The treatment of waste and the elimination of a part or the complete instrument must be done in compliance with the
local legislation.
Any output or input connections (except the printer and the barcode reader supplied by ORPHEE) cannot be done
without the ORPHEE representative authorization.
Do not open the door located on the right side of the instrument (see section 1.1.3) when an hydraulic cycle is in
progress for it would lead to an immediate stop. To re-start, shut the door and run a Control cycle (see section 9.3.1)

electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in which the MYTHIC 22 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MYTHIC 22 should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting
or relocating the MYTHIC 22.
