Problem Probable Cause Remedy
Diagnostic Check Failed Chamber Door isopen Close the chamber door and retry the DiagnosticCheck
Operating Clean-Trace
LuminometerLX25out of
correct temperaturerange
Operate the Clean-Trace LuminometerLX25between 5°C and
40°C. Retry the DiagnosticCheck.
ATP Test UXC or H2O left in
ATP testchamber
Remove the ATP Test UXC or H2O from the test chamber and retry
the DiagnosticCheck.
If the Diagnostic Check fails after a retry, contact 3M or your
localdistributor.
Battery Low Battery needs to be charged Connect the power cord cable to the Clean-Trace
LuminometerLX25and connect the cord to a power outlet to
recharge thebattery.
Chamber Door Open Chamber door was open
while attempting to start the
reading process
Close the chamber door after inserting a Clean-Trace ATP Test UXC
or H2O and before starting the readingprocess.
No Swab Detected Insert a Clean-Trace ATP Test UXC or H2O.
Instrument temperature is not
within normal operating range
Instrument temperature is
>40°C or <5°C
Use the Clean-Trace LuminometerLX25at ambient temperature
between 5°C and 40°C. If the problem persists, contact 3M or your
localdistributor.
Swab Left in Chamber The Clean-Trace LuminometerLX25has a sensor to determine if a
Clean-Trace ATP Test UXC or H2O has been left in the chamber for
more than 30seconds following the completion of a measurement.
If this situation is detected, the instrument will display a “Swab
Left In Chamber” error message on the screen and provide an
audible beep to remind the user to remove the Test following
the measurement.
No Display Battery fullydischarged Recharge thebattery.
Clean-Trace
LuminometerLX25is in Sleep
Mode or has been turnedoff.
Press the “Up” button on the cursor control to wake from sleep
mode. If no response, press the “Power” button for 3seconds to

Instrument malfunction Contact 3M or your localdistributor.
Results Lower than Expected Sample / reagentproblem Check to ensure correct sample technique was used and ATP Test
UXC or H2O activation was followed according to Clean-Trace ATP
Test instructions for use. Verify with known positive samples such
as a 3M Positive ControlTest.
Instrument malfunction Contact 3M or your localdistributor.
Results Higher than Expected Direct sunlight or static
discharge can cause ATP Test
to phosphoresce and cause
high readings
After exposure to sunlight or static discharge an immediate repeat
reading is 50% of the first reading, if this is the cause of the higher
than expected results. Subsequent readings become incrementally
lower and finally return tonormal.
Avoid exposing ATP Test UXC or H2O to direct sunlight or
static discharge.
Other Errors 1. Turn off the Clean-Trace LuminometerLX25and power back
onagain.
2. Retry ATP Test UXC or H2O using the Clean-Trace
LuminometerLX25.
3. If the problem persists, contact 3M or your localdistributor.
