Cleaning
Disinfecting the Test Table and
Insert
1
Prepare one of the following
solutions in a tall, narrow
container (e.g., empty Multistix
bottle) to a depth of about
4 inches (10 cm):
• Precept, Cidex,
Theracide and Amphyl
solutions - prepare
according to product
directions.
• Household Bleach (5%
sodium hypochlorite) – this
can be used either full
strength or dilute with water
to as much as 1:20
(i.e., mix 5 mL bleach with
95 mL water for a total of
100 mL).
Rinse away all bleach
residue, as remaining bleach
will affect several of the reagent
pad chemistries.
• Isopropyl Alcohol (70% to
85%) - this can be used full
strength.
Any solutions other than those
listed above may damage the test
table and insert.

come in contact with the white
calibration bar. Do not cover the
container while the test table is
soaking.

minimum of 2 minutes and
maximum of 10 minutes. Do not
soak longer than 10 minutes.

Rinse the test table and insert
thoroughly with water.
