Cleaning and disinfecting
• Always wear gloves whilst cleaning and disinfecting the Instrument.
• Always use LumiraDx recommended materials to disinfect the
Instrument. Details of LumiraDx recommended materials can be found
at lumiradx.com.
• CAUTION: Excessive liquid may damage the Instrument. It is
important for the protection of the Instrument that exposure to excess
moisture is prevented. All disinfection cloths and/or wipes should only
be slightly damp, with any excess liquid being manually removed from
the cloth or wipe before use.
• CAUTION: Liquid should not be placed in or near the vents on the
bottom or back of the Instrument.
• CAUTION: Alcohol wipes alone are not sufficient to disinfect the
Instrument for blood-based samples, due to the potential presence of
bloodborne pathogens.
• Do NOT spray or pour solution directly onto the Instrument.
• Following cleaning and disinfection, and before performing a patient
test, change gloves and wash hands.
