Urisys - Operator’s Manual V.
E TRAY POSITION ERROR ! Cause: The positioning hole in the test
strip tray (see Figure ) is soiled or still
wet after cleaning; the retaining bar is
open while the test strip tray is
advancing or the retaining bar
mechanism is fouled with urinary
deposit and blocked. (See Section .)
Action: Clean, blow through or dry the
positioning hole (using a lint-free cloth)
to ensure that it is completely patent.
Remove urinary deposits, if there are
any, including those on the underside
of the test strip tray. Insert the test strip
tray again and press the START button.
Ensure that the retaining bar is down
and locked into place while the reading
is taking place. If the error message
appears again, use the spare test strip
tray.

E WRONG TRAY ! Cause: The test strip tray used is not the one for the programmed test strip type,
or the grey reference pad is missing from the test strip tray, or there is an
instrument error.
Action: Press the START button. The strip type menu is displayed. The strip type
must match the test strip tray type. Use the correct test strip tray, or order a new

START button. If the error message appears again, the instrument is defective.

those on the underside of the test strip tray and the cogs. If the test strip tray is
damaged insert the spare test strip tray. Press the START button. If the error
