Thermo Scientific TruNarc User Guide 5

Preface

The Thermo Scientific™ TruNarc™ analyzer is a 785-nm Raman

spectrometer used for the rapid identification of suspected narcotics.

Designed for law enforcement organizations, this handheld narcotics

identification system analyzes most substances through sealed packaging and

provides clear, definitive results. Using the companion TruNarc Admin

software, results may be uploaded to a computer, and reports may be

generated for every scan.

This guide describes how to scan substances with the TruNarc analyzer,

interpret scan results, use the TruNarc Admin software to set up and manage

a database of results, purchase scan credits, and maintain the instrument.

This guide includes a Safety section, Chapter 6, that describes the safety

features of the TruNarc. These safety features were designed to address the

inherent danger associated with clandestine (Clan Labs). Be sure to review

these features before using TruNarc in this environment.

Safety Notices

The TruNarc analyzer is designed to be used in a typical field environment

and is therefore considerably more rugged than a laboratory instrument.

However, the user should recognize that this is a precision scientific

instrument. Abuse and mistreatment of the TruNarc analyzer may lead to

degraded performance or premature failure.

CAUTION

The TruNarc analyzer is not designed to be intrinsically safe, and the user

should take the necessary precautions when using the analyzer.

CAUTION

Do not use the TruNarc analyzer unless you have been trained in its use.

CAUTION

The TruNarc analyzer incorporates a laser diode that emits a maximum

350-mW beam at 785 nm. A 9-mm focal length lens is used to concentrate the

energy on a sample. The beam diameter at the plane of the focal lens is

approximately 9.6 mm.

CAUTION

CAUTION: This instrument is certified as a Class IIIB laser product to the

requirements of the U.S. Federal Product Performance Standard for Laser

Products contained in the regulations of 21 CFR Sub-Chapter “J” except for

deviations pursuant to Department of Health and Human Services issued Laser

Notices. The TruNarc analyzer also complies with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 2(2007).

CAUTION

Exposure to Class IIIB levels of laser energy can be hazardous. Avoid exposure

to the beam. Exposure to specular (mirror-like) reflections should also be

avoided. Never point the TruNarc analyzer at anyone. In the absence of a

workplace safety standard or requirements, refer to the American National

Standard ANSI Z136.1 for the safe use of lasers or the International Standard

IEC 60825-14 user's guide for guidance on identifying and controlling hazards

associated with laser use. Calculations performed in accordance with the

recommended practices of ANSI Z136.1 and IEC 60825-1 give a Nominal

Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) of approximately 14 inches (35 cm) from the

sample point of the lens and an estimated optical density (OD) greater than 3.

CAUTION

Exposure to levels of laser energy above the maximum permissible exposure

(MPE) can be harmful to the eye. The MPE for this analyzer is 1.48 mW/cm2.

The emitted energy must travel a minimum distance of 14 inches (35 cm)

before its concentration is below the MPE for normal viewing. This distance is

defined as the hazard zone. With proper use, exposure to levels above the

MPE can be avoided. Avoid exposure to the beam.

Preface P

Thermo Scientific TruNarc User Guide 7

CAUTION

Use administrative controls, engineering controls, and/or laser safety glasses

to avoid exposure to laser radiation within the 14-inch (35 cm) hazard zone. Use

laser safety eyewear of an optical density (OD) greater than 3 at 785 nm.

14-inch (35 cm)

hazard zone

CAUTION!

CAUTION

Do not operate the TruNarc analyzer if the laser aperture is cracked. When the

laser aperture is cracked, the instrument’s laser beam is collimated rather than

divergent, and the laser is no longer safe to operate under any circumstances.

The laser aperture is most likely to crack when you drop the instrument. To

check for cracks, turn the instrument off, remove the nose cone, and check the

integrity of the laser aperture. If the laser aperture is cracked, take the

instrument out of service and contact Thermo Fisher Scientific Customer

Support.

CAUTION

There are no user-serviceable components inside the TruNarc analyzer. The

connector compartment door may be opened, but do not open the protective

enclosure or modify the electronics within. All service operations must be

performed by Thermo Fisher Scientific or an authorized service agent of Thermo

Fisher Scientific. Any attempt by the user to open the TruNarc analyzer will

render the warranty null and void.

CAUTION

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other

than those specified herein or those specified by the manufacturer's personnel

may result in a hazardous condition.

CAUTION

Follow your organization's procedure and regulations for the handling of

unknown substances. WARNING: Scanning a thermally sensitive material

contained in a tightly sealed vessel (e.g., capped jar or vial) with the TruNarc

analyzer may cause a pressure build up and subsequent explosion of the

vessel.

Eye Safety

CAUTION

The Solution Kit (Type H) holds vials of ethanol. These vials are used in the

testing procedure. Ethanol is categorized as a hazardous good and a flammable

substance. Consult the Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on ethanol for

detailed safety information. You will find a copy of the MSDS inside the box in

which the Solution Kit (Type H) is packaged. Be sure to check shipping

regulations and requirements before shipping the Solution Kit (Type H) or

transporting it on an airplane. Do not ship broken or leaking ethanol vials.

CAUTION

Do not point the instrument at the eyes of other people.

CAUTION

Do not look at the laser aperture when the laser is on. Keep your eyes outside

the laser’s Hazard Zone of approximately 14 inches (35 cm), measured from the

laser’s aperture.
