3. Tri-Level Quality Control Label Cleaning Recommendations
When cleaning the QC label please follow the instructions below to ensure proper operation
and prevent potential damage to the QBC Star rotor.
1. Put the device into shipping preparation mode, per the instructions found in Section 2 of
the QBC Star Operator’s Manual and power off the device. This should put the rotor into
a free spinning state.
2. Gently turn the rotor by hand until the QC label is visible in the operator accessible opening
on the front of QBC Star. Do not apply excessive pressure to the rotor surface or damage
could occur.
3. Gently wipe the label surface with an alcohol swab to remove any spillage, dust or debris.
NOTE: DO NOT USE WATER, BLEACH OR OTHER HARSH CHEMICAL BASED CLEAN-
ERS as they may damage the label finish.
Disinfection
If a QBC STAR Tube breaks while in the instrument, the spread of blood and glass is substantially con-
tained by the plastic protective tube. This device design provides a high degree of user and instrument
protection from exposure to blood and aerosols.
If blood or glass should escape the plastic protective tube, please call technical support.
