Care of the instrument
5. Care of the instrument
Operation of the instrument doesn’t require any special maintenance, besides cleaning and dis-
infection there is no need for further care.
Protect the instrument from extremes of temperature and high atmospheric humidity
and keep it out of bright light (direct sunlight, spot lamps, etc.).
Maintain hygiene by keeping the exterior parts and surfaces of the instrument clean. For daily
cleaning we recommend applying a commercial cleaning agent or disinfectant (preferably 70%
alcohol) with a moist cloth.
Take care that no liquids enter the instrument.
We recommend to clean the stripholder tray each day finishing the use of device. Tray can be
pulled out of device and cleaned and disinfected separately. Be sure, tray is clean and dry and
calibration pad is in place, when you push tray back into device.
Be careful not to harm or scrape calibration pad surface.
