Care And Cleaning, Disposal - EKF Lactate Scout+ User Manual

Getting started
Care and cleaning
The Lactate Scout+ measuring device is an
electronic precision measuring device and must
be handled and stored with care. It must be
protected from liquids, moisture, prolonged
solar radiation and excessive effects of cold and
heat (below 0°C and above +50°C).
Heavy mechanical loads, improper handling
and contamination can partially or completely
restrict functionality. Ensure that no liquid or
dirt enters the inside of the device through the
openings (insertion slot for sensor, scroll wheel
and battery housing).
If blood, test solution, dust or other
contaminants are present on the housing, it
must be cleaned using a soft, lint-free towel
or cellulose cloth (e.g. paper towel), which
has been pre-soaked in a mild cleaning agent
(e.g. water with a minimal amount of washing-
up liquid), and then wiped dry. Medical
staff should adhere to the regulations of the
medical facility in this case.
10
Never insert foreign objects or sensors
other than Lactate Scout sensors into the
insertion slot.
Disposal
In the case of blood lactate measurements it
is impossible to exclude the possibility that
the device will come into contact with blood.
As a result, there is a risk of infection. Dispose
of the device with household waste after
removing the batteries.
(The device does not fall under the application
of the European Directive 2002/96/EC
regarding electrical and electronic equipment).
Attention:
If the device housing is opened
by the user, this will invalidate all warranty and
liability claims. Disinfecting agents containing
isopropanol will result in the permanent
tarnishing of the display window.
