Electrical safety
Danger
Biological safety
Danger of electric shock. Keep the side panels closed while the analyzer is connected to the main power supply!
The cobas c 111 is designed in accordance with safety standard EN/IEC 61010-1. Grounding of the instrument and those surfaces
the user can come into contact with is provided by a grounded cable in accordance with protection class 1 (IEC). Users should not perform any servicing except as specifically stated in the cobas c 111 Operator’s Manual.
Liquid waste and cuvette waste are potentially biological hazardous. Always wear gloves when handling those materials. Do not touch parts of the analyzer other than those specified. If sample is spilled on the analyzer, wipe up immediately and apply disinfectant. Consult your laboratory protocol for handling biohazard materials.
Software virus warning
Roche does not provide any anti-virus Software. Therefore, it is essential to take precautions to ensure that any software loaded
onto the system is virus-free.
Do not load any software that is not approved by Roche Warning Diagnostics!
Recommendations
Check any data carrier (e.g. USB memory stick) with an anti-virus program (on another computer) to ensure that they are virus free before using them on the cobas c 111.
Optical Safety
Loss of sight! The intense light of the LEDs may severely damage your eyes. Do not stare into the LEDs! Scanning equipment using LED technology is covered by the international standard IEC 60825-1 LED safety: Class 1
Warning
Instrument Service & Maintenance
The cobas c 111 is an electromechanical device that has no internal electrical parts serviceable by the user. For preventive maintenance, contact your Roche Service representative who is trained and qualified to perform the necessary maintenance.
Any unauthorized modification to the system shall render the warranty or service agreement null and void.
User safety
Read the following list to familiarize yourself with the potential hazards and the precautions for operating the cobas c 111.

cobas c 111 Installation Manual
Electrical safety
Danger of electric shock if you touch any power supply parts.
Do not access any electrical parts while the analyzer is connected to the main power supply.
Users may replace fuses if they follow the procedures described in this manual. Any other electrical modification is not allowed and may render any warranties on the cobas c 111 null and void.
Fire risk
Danger of explosion through sparks. Keep all potentially flammable or explosive material (for example, anesthetic gas) away from the analyzer.
Spraying liquid on the power supply parts can cause a short circuit and result in a fire. Keep the cover closed while the analyzer is connected to the main power supply and do not use sprays in the vicinity of the cobas c 111.
During fire-fighting operations disconnect the cobas c 111 from the main power supply.
Analyzer in use
Danger of hands injury by moving parts. Keep all covers closed during initialization or operation.
Samples
Danger from infectious sample material can cause severe illness. Avoid direct contact with sample material. Clean contaminated surfaces immediately and dispose of waste according to local regulations. Please refer to your local safety regulations regarding handling sample material.
Waste
Danger from infectious waste material can cause severe illness. Avoid direct contact with waste. Dispose of the waste according to local regulations.
Quality control
Danger of false results. Patients can be put at risk if false results lead to incorrect diagnosis and therapy. Carry out quality controls according to the local regulations.
Correct use
Use the cobas c 111 only for measuring liquid sample material with the specified Roche reagents. Sample material can be serum, plasma, urine.
User qualification
Danger from incorrect operation. The cobas c 111 should only be used by a qualified operator experienced in the use of such equipment.
Environmental conditions
Incorrect location can cause incorrect results and damage to the equipment parts. Follow the installation instructions carefully. Moving the cobas c 111 must be performed only by qualified personnel.
Location
The cobas c 111 is designed for indoor use and the instrument must be located on a stable and level surface that is not subject to vibration. The instrument should not be placed in a position where strong or variable light conditions exist (e.g. direct sunlight). Avoid locations where other equipment may create interference from high frequency or high voltage electromagnetic fields.
Allow sufficient space around the instrument for convenient working.

Environmental conditions
The cobas c 111 is designed to operate in a controlled environment. In particular the room temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pollution conditions must be maintained within the limits specified above (par. 4.3). Operation outside of the specified ranges may cause erratic operation or, in exceptional circumstances, component failure.
Protective grounding
The protective grounding is done via the mains power cord. There are no special provisions for protective grounding required.

Warning |
hazardous condition. |
Under no circumstances should the user attempt to modify or deliberately override the safety features of this system.
Risk of infection from contaminated samples!
Fluid and cuvette waste is potentially biologically hazardous.
Samples containing material of human origin must be treated as potentially infectious. Always wear protective gloves when handling this material.
Do not touch parts of the analyzer other than those specified.
The whole inside of the system may be contaminated with potentially infectious or toxic material.
Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the following parts: Waste area, Sample Area, Pipetting System e.g., probes,
Battery may explode if mistreated!
Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of the battery in fire.
Servicing of the battery circuit and replacement of the lithium battery must not be done by the user.
Only authorized persons are allowed to replace the lithium battery. Replace Battery with type Sonnenschein SL-360/S only.
Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
User maintenance actions and internal cleaning
All internal cleaning must be performed according to the instructions given in the cobas c 111 Operator’s Manual.
Danger of damaging the Touch-Screen Display
Excessive use of liquid cleaner may damage the Touch-Screen display! Do not spray any cleaner liquid directly onto the screen! Please clean the surface of the monitor with a cloth that is moistened with cleaner liquid.
