B. Cleaning Instructions
1. Locate the optical glass and the test strip insert opening.
2. Using an alcohol wipe, carefully wipe the optical glass and test strip guides clean. If the
area is especially dirty, this may require additional wipes.
3. Immediately dry the optical glass completely with gauze. Make sure the glass is clean,
dry, and completely free from any fingerprints, dust, or smudges. The glass must look
clean when held at different angles.
4. Clean the exterior of the analyzer with a damp (not wet) alcohol wipe or dampen a cloth
with water or a medical grade disinfectant (such as Sporocidin) and wipe surfaces and
the display area very carefully. Be careful not to get the test strip insert opening (where
the test strip is inserted) wet.
C. Battery Replacement
The CardioChek Plus analyzer requires four (4) AA 1.5 volt high-quality alkaline batteries.
When to Replace the Batteries
When the display reads CHANGE BATTERY, no more tests can be run until the batteries are
changed. Always replace the batteries with high-quality alkaline batteries. When changing
batteries, change all batteries using the same brand of batteries – do not mix battery
brands. It is recommended to keep a spare set of batteries on hand. To extend battery life,
remove the test strip as soon as a result is displayed. The time/date and results stored in
memory will not be erased when the batteries are changed.
How to Install/Replace the Batteries
1. Open the battery door on the back of the CardioChek Plus analyzer by releasing the
latch and pulling the door away from the back of the analyzer.
2. Remove old batteries from the compartment and safely discard.
3. Insert the new batteries into the battery compartment as marked on the inside
compartment.
4. Replace the battery door. To make sure the batteries were installed correctly, push
either of the two buttons on the front of the analyzer to turn the CardioChek® Plus
analyzer on.
