• Observe the reagent line and reaction cup to confirm there are no leaks.
If any leaks are noticed correct the problem.

• If the BUNm/UREAm electrode maintenance was performed, wait 15–
20 minutes to allow for thermal equilibration. Calibrate BUNm/
UREAm. Immediately prior to calibration, wrap the tip of an applicator
stick with lintless tissue, to ensure there are no bubbles in the BUNm/
UREAm cup only. Insert the end of the stick into the bottom of the cup
and carefully swab the electrode.
• The glucose sensor also requires a 15–20 minute equilibration period
prior to performing the sensor calibration.
22 Proceed to Calibrate Lamps and Sensor.
