10.10 Replacing the Probe Wipe
Samples, controls, calibrator and waste are potentially infectious. Wear
proper personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, lab coat, etc.) and follow
safe laboratory procedures when handling them in the laboratory.
The sample probe tip is sharp and may contain biohazardous materials.
Exercise caution to avoid contact with the probe when working around it.
To replace the probe wipe:
1. Refer to Chapter 10.9 and do the steps 1 to 8;
2. Pull the loosen probe wipe upward to remove the probe wipe and disconnect the tubes
from the probe wipe (pay attention to the correspondence between the tubes and the
connectors), as Figure 10-55 shows;
3. Install a new block and connect the tubing end with the black marking to the connector
below the block;
4. Calibration to the sample probe position should be performed after replacing the probe
wipe. Refer to Chapter 10.9.
