Urisys - Operator’s Manual V.
. Cleaning and Maintenance
The Urisys system is designed for maintenance-free operation. Protect the instrument from extremes of temperature
and high atmospheric humidity (see Section ), and keep it out of bright light (direct sunlight, spot lamps, etc.).
Maintain hygiene by keeping the exterior parts and surfaces of the instrument clean. For cleaning we recommend applying
a commercial cleaning agent or disinfectant (preferably % alcohol) with a moist cloth. Take care that no liquid enters
the instrument.
. Cleaning the instrument
. Switch off the instrument
. Pull the test strip tray out of the instrument
. Moisten a cloth with water or a neutral detergent, wring it out (the cloth must be damp not soaked) and clean the
exterior parts and surfaces of the instrument.
. Afterwards moisten a cloth with disinfectant (preferably % alcohol), wring it out (the cloth must be damp not soaked)
and wipe the exterior parts and surfaces of the instrument.
CAUTION: Ensure that no liquid enters the instrument, wipe the housing, and never spray it!
Let the housing dry before proceeding to read.
. Cleaning the Test Strip Tray
BIOHAZARD: Liquid waste and strip waste are potentially biologically hazardous. Always wear gloves if
handling those materials. Dispose of the used test strips according to the regulations for handling
potentially infectious material.
When inserting and removing test strips, take care that no urine residues come into contact with the retaining bar
mechanism.
After each reading
To prevent carry-over and an accumulation of urinary deposit, wipe off residues
for urine from the test strip tray with a dry, lint-free cloth after each reading (see
Figure ).

At the end of each working day, clean the test strip tray with water and, if necessary, with a commercial cleaning agent and
disinfectant.
