Urisys - Operator’s Manual V.
At the end of each working day
. Switch off the instrument.
. Pull the test strip tray out of the instrument.
CAUTION: Be careful not to touch the grey reference pad (A). Contamination of the reference pad may
impair the quality of the results obtained.
ATTENTION: To avoid contamination of the grey reference pad (A),
you can remove it before cleaning (see Figure ).
. Rinse the strip tray under running water. Slight crystalline deposits, especially
those contaminating the retaining bar mechanism or the cogs on the
underside of the test strip tray and the positioning hole, may be removed with
a soft brush.
. Disinfect the test strip tray using % alcohol or another suitable disinfectant.
. Dry the parts with a dry, lint-free cloth
. Insert the reference pad if taken out before cleaning.
CAUTION: Ensure that the positioning hole (B) on the side of the
test strip tray is absolutely dry (see Figure ). This hole is used to
ensure that the test strip tray is automatically positioned correctly
in the instrument.

CAUTION: Take care not to damage the grey reference pad during cleaning. Ensure that there are no
scratches on the surface and it is completely clean and dry before proceeding to read. If needed, replace
it by a spare reference pad.
After replacing the grey reference pad, the instrument has to be calibrated. The instrument will not
request the calibration automatically if the replacement happens within the weekly calibration period.
. Pick up the cleaned test strip tray and, with the retaining bar nearest to you and closed (down), slide it into the slot
below the function keys, so that the near edge of the test strip tray is flush with the near edge of the instrument.
. If you wish to proceed with the next readings directly after cleaning the test strip tray, switch the Urisys system on
again. During the self check the system will verify that the reference pad is in good condition for reading and that the
positioning hole in the test strip tray (see Figure ) is free. If not, an error message will be displayed (see Section ).
