Laser Safety
The following safety recommendations apply:
❑ Do not attempt to service the laser system.
❑ For all service functions call a trained CompuCyte authorized service person.
❑ Do not remove the internal safety shields
Warning: Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example,
eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm
may pose an eye hazard.
Laser Aperture at Objective Lens
Laser light is emitted from the objective lens that is currently selected for use by
rotating the objective lens turret.
Warning: Do not remove objective lenses or objective lens port caps.

Electrical Safety
The following safety recommendations apply:
Laser Aperture
❑ Keep all panels and covers in place when operating the system to prevent the
chance of electrical shock.
❑ Refer all servicing of high voltage or line voltage to an authorized CompuCyte
service representative.
❑ The CompuCyte iCys Research Imaging Cytometer requires surge protected
mains or other external surge protection to meet the surge requirements of
EN61326. Surge protection capable of eliminating surges up to 2kV line to
ground, and 1kV line to line is required.
