10. Cleaning and maintenance

Biological Hazard: Urine residues 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 of the handling of potentially
infectious material.

10.1 How to clean the housing

Use commercially available disinfection wipes to clean and disinfect the instrument from the
outside.
Do not use liquids that can enter the instrument as these may cause permanent damage
of the instrument.
Clean the surface of the instrument with a disinfection wipe once daily.

10.2 How to clean the strip holder

Wipe off urine residues from the strip holder with a lint-free cloth after each measurement. 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 18). Wipe down the strip holder with
disinfection wipes. When removed from the instrument, you may also use water with a soft
brush and/or liquid disinfectants.
After cleaning, insert the holder on the metal sled (Pic 19). The rectangular notches of the
transport mechanism and the strip holder must be placed on top of each other (Pic 20). Use
reasonable force to push the strip holder completely onto the metal sled. Doing so the metal
slit 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 slit with more force.
