STEP 1
First, the microcuvette holder must be removed. Check that the
analyzer is turned off. Pull the cuvette holder out to its loading
position. Carefully press the small catch positioned in the upper
right corner and rotate the cuvette holder toward the left.
Carefully pull the cuvette holder away from the analyzer
(towards your body, DO NOT pull upwards/downwards or
push/pull out forcefully), and remove it.

STEP 2
The optical lenses are located behind the pivot point of the tray,
on the top and bottom, about ¾" inside the opening of the
cuvette holder. The top and bottom lens need to be cleaned
thoroughly.
STEP 3
Push the HemoCue Cleaner swab into the opening of the holder
and move from side to side 5-10 times. If the swab is stained,
repeat the process using a new swab each time, until it is clean.
Be sure to clean well in the area of the optical lenses. As an
alternative to the HemoCue Cleaner, a cotton tip swab moistened
with alcohol (without additive) or water may also be used for cleaning.
The optronic unit should be cleaned when directed to do so in the
Troubleshooting guide or as desired. Wait 15 minutes before replacing
the cuvette holder and using the analyzer. Make sure the cuvette
holder is dry before reinserting. Please refer to the Operating Manual
for further instructions.
