T
he Triage MeterPro requires minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning of the exterior
w
ith mild soap and water solution is sufficient. After using a damp, not wet, sponge or
c
loth to apply a mild soap and water solution on the outside of the meter, wipe the
m
eter dry using a soft cloth or absorbent tissue. Do not allow water to seep into the
p
rinter. Do not immerse the meter in water or other liquids.
If blood or other fluids are not
allowed enough time to fully
absorb into test devices, the
device track door may occasionally
require cleaning. Using a cotton
swab dampened with isopr
opyl
alcohol and a pair of tweezers,
carefully lift the door and clean
both front and back of the door.
Check Battery Level
The Triage MeterPro checks the active power source after ejecting a device or printing.
To check the battery power, navigate to the Main Menu, disconnect the AC power
supply, press the key (the meter attempts to eject the device), and look for the
Low Power Indicator on the Main Menu of the meter display. If the flashing indicator
appears, replace the batteries.
