Handling precautions When handling test strips, the following precautions must be observed:
o Only use a URISYS 2400 cassette that has not exceeded its expiration date.

o Refrigerated cassettes must be at room temperature for at least two hours
before opening the package and using the cassette.
o Check the package for damage.
o After removing the cassette from the packaging, ensure the test strip layers
are correctly aligned and the test pads are not unusually discolored.
o Do not directly touch the test pads of the test strip.
o Do not let the strips come in contact with water or with any volatile,
strongly acidic, or alkaline chemicals.
o Install the cassette into the analyzer within 3 minutes of opening the seal.
o Keep the cassette in the firmly locked cassette compartment until the test
strips are completely used up.
o Do not open the cassette compartment door as long as the cassette is not
empty or the on-board stability has not expired.
o Follow the instructions provided with the URISYS 2400 cassette by the
manufacturer and read carefully all information on the package insert.
When a cassette becomes empty during sample processing, replacement by a new
cassette can be performed through the [Routine Monitor] screen by activating the
<Change Cassette> button, (see “Replace an empty URISYS 2400 cassette” on
