Care of the instruments

5. Care of the instrument

Operation of the CombiScan

500 does not require any special maintenance. Only the

cover, waste bin and conveyor of the instrument have to be cleaned and disinfected regu-

larly. It should be done always after severe contamination, at least daily. Cleaning should

be performed with a wet cloth and/or alcohol.

5.1. Cleaning of the waste bin

The used strips are collected in the waste bin (max capacity approx.150 strips), which is

located under the front door of the conveyor (see ﬁg. 1). As soon as the automatic strip

counter has reached 150, the demand to empty the waste bin appears on the LCD. To open

the waste bin, slightly push the front side under the conveyor. The waste bin will move out

automatically. Now you can take out the case, empty the strips and clean and disinfect the

bin with water and alcohol or disinfetant, respectively. Move the waste bin back into the

CombiScan

500 and push it in carefully until it locks in place with a “click”.

5.2. Cleaning of the conveyor

It is recommended to clean the conveyor regularly. Cleaning of the driving cylinders is

necessary weekly or if contaminations are visible on the cylinders and carriage. The belts

and the support shaft have to be cleaned daily or even more often, in case of high number

of measurements.

Please clean the conveyor as follows:

 Press the „CLEAN“ control key in the MENU/SERVICE submenu to bring the conveyor

in cleaning position.

 Remove all three belts and if necessary also the cylinders.

 Clean the shafts and support by using a wet cloth.

 Clean the pieces either under running water or alcohol or disinfetant. Dry them com-

pletly and make sure that the inside of the cylinders is dry before putting them back

onto the shafts.

 After the cleaning process is ﬁnished replace the belts and cylinders and press “OK”

 The display return to „SERVICE“ menu. To get back to „MAIN MENU“, press the QUIT

function key.

NOTE. During the carriage movement „Please wait…“ is displayed.
