1.10 DRI-CHEM SLIDES
(Henceforth, DRI-CHEM SLIDE is shortened into “slide” in this manual.)
WARNING
Do not touch used slides with bare hands as this may cause contamination. If any part of the body comes in contact
with used slides, immediately rinse the contaminated body part thoroughly under running water and then use ethyl
alcohol as a disinfectant. Seek medical assistance if necessary.
WARNING
As used slides are infectious waste, process the waste correctly in compliance with any applicable regulations in your
country, such as by incineration, melting, sterilization or disinfection.
IMPORTANT
The slides should be stored in a refrigerator [35.6°F to 46.4°F (2°C to 8°C)] without unwrapping to avoid humidity, light,
and heat.
Only the required number of slides should be taken out of the refrigerator and warmed up to room temperature
before unwrapping the individual packages.
Complete the measurement within 30 minutes after unwrapping the individual package.
Do not touch either the center part of the surface or the back of the colorimetric test slides.
Do not touch the thread bridge part of the electrolyte slide.
Do not scratch (damage) the printed dot-code on the backside of the slides.
A new slide must be used for each measurement. Do not reuse.
NOTE: Types of slide packages and containers for liquids (e.g.,
diluent, reference fluid) are subject to change
without notice.
