Chapter 4 Maintenance
This section describes how to clean the components of the instrument.
Samples may adhere to the test strip holder during testing and contaminant may build up on
the holder as more samples are measured. Wash the holder, holder base, guide rails and
sliding areas after completing all testing for the day. Also, use this procedure if the error code
“
E001” appears on the screen. This section assumes that the direction of test strip is set to
feed “from the right (default)” (see page
1-15).
Turn on the power.
• The test strip holder will extend from the right of the instrument.
Open the reading unit cover.
Press and hold the button.
• The test strip holder will slightly move to the
right until a metallic protrusion appears.
Slide the test strip holder base to the right
and remove it.
• During maintenance, wear protective gloves to prevent exposure to
pathogenic microbes.
• Discard used test strips, cloth and protective gloves in accordance
with local regulations for biohazardous waste.
