Maintenance
The UA analyzer and printer require very little maintenance, but to ensure longevity of the
system and accuracy of results, they should be cleaned on a regular basis to remove any
contaminating urine residue or debris that might interfere with proper function.
NOTE: For instructions on handling and cleaning biohazardous materials, consult the
biosafety guidelines provided by your facility.
WARNING! The VETSCAN UA does not have any user serviceable parts inside the analyzer.
Do not open the analyzer as opening the analyzer will void the warranty. Contact Zoetis
Technical Support if you suspect a problem inside the analyzer.
Cleaning the Strip Tray
1.
It is important to clean the Strip Tray after each use to prevent cross-contamination of strips
by residue from previous urine samples. The Strip Tray sits on top of the Tray Carriage, which
should not be pulled out of the analyzer. (Fig. 16)
WARNING! The Strip Tray directly contacts urine samples and should be handled with the
same biohazard precautions as veterinary patient samples.
