Cepheid GeneXpert Xpress- Field Use

Does anyone have a Cepheid GeneXpert Xpress instrument used "in the field".  I have a site that wants to use this instrument in various events that they will be involved in. 
I am a little concerned with this due to a possibility of issues with moving it around so much.  Any insights?

Thanks

Hi, 
I have two GeneXpert Xpress instruments on Mobile units that are affixed to a shelf. The mobile is basically a repurposed camper, they keep track of temps and when not actively in use it is parked and plugged in to maintain temps. It works just fine in my experience.

I have a school -based telehealth group that was thinking about using it, but Cepheid said that it should not be moved site to site.  They travel to a different school each day, and would need to pack up and move, so this was not a on a van or bus where it would travel and stay secured in place.
