of the analyzer. Plugging the analyzer into a power source and/or operating the analyzer
before the disinfectant has evaporated may cause an electrical shock or fire.

Clean electrical contacts with a clean, dry or moist cloth. Do not use Deproteinizer or other
disinfectants on electrical contacts.
o Following laboratory-specific regulations, regularly decontaminate the surfaces of
the analyzer, including the front door, with an undiluted disinfectant
(Deproteinizer). Use swabs or cellulose that have been soaked with Deproteinizer.
The surfaces of the analyzer should remain untouched for at least 15 minutes after
its disinfection.
o Dirty surfaces (e.g. contaminated with blood) should first be cleaned with swabs

plastic brush to clean impurities on the grooves in the front door or in the areas
around the measuring chamber window. All visible impurities should be
removed.
