11. Disinfection

DANGER:
Urine and used test strips bare the danger of infection. Always use protective
gloves during handling and disposal. The disposal of used test strips should
be performed according to the regulations for the handling of potentially infec-
tious material.

11.1. How to clean and disinfect the housing

Use commercially available disinfection wipes to clean and disinfect the instru-
ment from the outside.
ATTENTION:
Do not use liquids that can enter the instrument as these may cause perma-
nent damage of the instrument.
Clean the surface of the instrument with a disinfection wipe.

11.2. How to clean and disinfect the strip holder

Wipe off urine residues from the strip holder with a lint-free cloth after each
mea surement. This prevents carry-over and drying of urine residues.
To remove the strip holder for more comprehensive cleaning, make sure to turn
the instrument off. Pull the strip holder from the metal sled below (Pic. 19). Wipe
down the strip holder with disinfection wipes. When removed from the instru-
ment, you may also use water with a soft brush and/or liquid disinfectants.
After cleaning, insert the holder on the metal sled (Pic. 20). The rectangular
notches of the transport mechanism and the strip holder must be placed on top
of each other (Pic. 21). Use reasonable force to push the strip holder completely
onto the metal sled. Doing so the metal sled and the strip holder will be pushed
back completely into the housing. If you get an error message after turning the
instrument on: Turn the instrument off and push the strip holder again on the
metal sled with more force.
