Cleaning the Sample Path
Use this procedure to clean the sample path with bleach.
You need the following materials for this task:
• 10% bleach solution
• syringe
• lint-free tissue or swabs
• deproteinizer
• test/blank reference sensor (TB5)
• test/blank Glucose sensor (TB4)
• test/blank Lactate sensor (TB4)
1. Select
Status > Maintenance > Deproteinizing the Sample Path.
2. To start the procedure, select
Continue.
3. Replace the reference sensor and the biosensors with the test/blank sensors:
a. Lift the door to the measurement module.
Refer to Preparing for Maintenance Procedures‚ page 5-1.
BIOHAZARD: Wear personal protective equipment. Use universal precautions.
Refer to Appendix A, Protecting Yourself from Biohazards for recommended
precautions when working with biohazardous materials.
CAUTION: Do not expose the reference sensor to bleach. Replace the reference
sensor with the test/blank reference sensor (TB5) before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not expose the glucose and lactate biosensors to bleach,
conditioner, or deproteinizer. Replace the biosensors with the test/blank sensors
(TB4) before conditioning the sensors or deproteinizing the sample path. Reinstall
the biosensors within 2 hours.
CAUTION: Do not use alcohol to perform this procedure. Alcohol can damage the
sensors.
CAUTION: Do not remove or return the sensors to the measurement module
without first discharging static buildup. Touch the inner surface of the
measurement module frame to discharge static buildup.
