Periodic Maintenance
In order to keep the Element DC performance at its best, perform the periodic maintenance by users and the specific
maintenance by technical support (dealer).
WARNING
When performing maintenance (cleaning the analyzer), always follow biohazard procedures (e.g., wearing gloves,
lab coat, and safety goggles).
If any part of the body comes in contact with contaminated parts or swabs, immediately rinse the contaminated
body part thoroughly under running water and then use ethyl alcohol as a disinfectant. Seek medical assistance if
necessary.
WARNING
Before cleaning the analyzer, always be sure to unplug the AC power cable.
WARNING
As contaminated swabs or cloths used for cleaning the analyzer are infectious waste, process the waste correctly
in compliance with any applicable regulations in your country, such as by incineration, melting, sterilization or
disinfection.

Before performing cleaning and maintenance of the analyzer, get training from technical support.
IMPORTANT
After cleaning the analyzer, plug in the AC power cable, and be sure to check the operation of the analyzer by
turning on the power switch.

If you do not perform the periodic maintenance in the manual, the analyzer’s performance and specifications will
not be maintained, and adverse effects on test results may occur.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to reassemble the parts removed for maintenance and tighten thumbscrews securely. Otherwise, adverse
effects on test results may occur.
