Plate Reader Advanced and Plate Manager
Intended Use
The 3MTM PetrifilmTM Plate Reader Advanced processes 3MTM PetrifilmTM Plates and is not intended to be used with any other manufactured products. The 3M Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced utilizes specially designed algorithms to enumerate 3M Petrifilm Plates. The 3MTM PetrifilmTM Plate Manager is designed for the transfer, organization, data storage and data management for the results of the 3M Petrifilm Plates. 3M has not designed nor documented the 3M Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced, and its power supply, or 3M Petrifilm Plate Manager for use with other manufacturers' products. Use with other manufacturers' designs or use in any other application that has not been evaluated or documented by 3M may lead to an unsafe condition. Although the 3M Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced is accurate, all results should be reviewed and confirmed manually by the user. The 3M Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced is not intended to be used in the diagnosis of conditions in humans or animals. The user is responsible to know and follow applicable workplace regulations. 3M anticipates that the 3M Petrifilm Plates, equipment and software will be utilized by technicians that have been properly trained on the 3M Petrifilm Plate test methods, the 3M Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced and the 3M Petrifilm Plate Manager. If this product is used in a manner that is not specified, the protection provided by the product may be impaired. 3M Food Safety is certified to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001 for design and manufacturing.
