2. Maintenance, Testing and Transportation
The analyzer needs little or no maintenance with normal use. It automatically tests its own
systems every time you turn it on and lets you know if something is wrong. If you drop the
analyzer or think it is not giving accurate results, make sure that your test kits and control
solution haven’t expired, and then run a control test.
