Maintenance and Service
The VetScan VS2 Analyzer requires minimal maintenance. Clean the
exterior of the analyzer weekly with mild detergent and a soft, damp
cloth. The air filter requires cleaning once a month. Regular mainte-
nance of the analyzer will assure reliable operation.
CAUTION: Abaxis recommends only the cleaning methods
described in this section. If for some reason another
method is needed, contact Abaxis Technical Service
beforehand at 1-800-822-2947 to verify that the pro-
posed method will not damage the analyzer. Abaxis is
not responsible for damage caused by non-recom-
mended cleaning methods.
10.1 Cleaning the Analyzer
Clean the analyzer’s external case and display at least weekly, as
described below.
Cleaning the Case
Clean the analyzer with a soft cloth, dampened with a mild, non-abrasive
detergent or cleaning solution, such as Simple Green
®
, a 10% bleach
solution, or a 30% isopropyl alcohol solution. Pre-soaked towelettes
(isopropyl alcohol) may be used as an alternate. Purchase isopropyl tow-
elettes from computer retailers.
Do not spray or pour any detergents, solutions or other liquids directly
onto the analyzer. Dampen a soft cloth or disposable paper towel with
the detergent, then apply to the analyzer.
Cleaning the Display
Clean the analyzer’s screen periodically using a soft, lint-free cloth
dampened with a glass-cleaning fluid or window cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use any cleaner containing alcohol. Do not
spray cleaner directly onto the display — dampen the
cloth instead.
