Product Description and Intended Use:
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP System is designed for the rapid detection of biological residues in aqueous
solutions and on surfaces.
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer is a battery operated Luminometer utilized primarily for objective and
sensitive determination of the end result of 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) tests.
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer Docking Station is available as an optional accessory and is an
instrument holder which provides instant connection to main charger and PC communications. It has been
designed for battery charging and the transfer of data from the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer.
Contact an official 3M Health Care representative for a current listing of 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometers
documented for use with the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer Docking Station.
3M has not designed nor documented the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NG Luminometer Docking Station for use with
other manufacturers’ products, use with other manufacturers’ designs, or use in any other application that has
not been evaluated or documented by 3M and may lead to an unsafe condition. The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ System
is not intended to be used in potentially flammable or explosive environments. Although the 3M™ Clean-Trace™
System is very sensitive, surfaces should not be considered sterile based on results from the 3M™ Clean-Trace™
System. The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ System is not intended to be used in the diagnosis of conditions in humans or
animals. The user is responsible to know and follow applicable workplace regulations.
3M anticipates that the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP tests and equipment will be utilized by technicians that have been
properly trained on the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP test methods.
If this product is used in a manner not specified, the protection provided by the product may be impaired.
USER RESPONSIBILITY
When selecting a test method, it is important to recognize that external factors such as sampling methods, testing
protocols, sample preparation, handling, and laboratory technique may influence results.
It is the user‘s responsibility in selecting any test method to evaluate a sufficient number of samples with the
appropriate matrices and challenges to satisfy the user that the chosen test method meets the user‘s criteria.
It is also the user‘s responsibility to determine that any test methods and results meet its customers‘ and suppliers‘
requirements.
As with any test method, results obtained from use of this product do not constitute a guarantee of the quality of
the matrices or processes tested.
