After system care or maintenance, verify the correct system operating conditions before resuming operation.

•

For repair or shipment, all mechanical parts must be put in their rest positions. No containers or tips can remain on the IAPS with ILASS during transportation. If an instrument was in a laboratory environment with infectious or hazardous materials, decontaminate it before shipment.

•

Only Illumina trained field service personnel can pack the IAPS with ILASS in the original shipping crate. Contact your local Illumina representative for assistance.

•

Illumina trained field service personnel and the laboratory share the responsibility for any training and verification procedures for the IAPS with ILASS. These procedures include any installation qualification (IQ) and operational qualification (OQ) of the instrument.

•

Only use original IAPS with ILASS specific parts and tools with the IAPS with ILASS.
