1. INTRODUC TION

1.9 

Analyser calibration

The SoToxa Mobile Analyser is factory calibrated and does not require any further calibration by the user. 
However, it is recommended to carry out performance checks using the quality control test cartridges provided with the system as part of each test.

1.10   Maintenance and cleaning

If required, the exterior of the analyser and its accessories can be wiped with a lint free cloth or a damp cloth with mild detergent. Wipe away any spillages 

immediately. Do not use abrasive cloths or other material, and do not allow the unit to come into contact with any potentially corrosive substances. If using a 

damp cloth, ensure the analyser is turned off and disconnected from mains AC power.

  DO NOT try to clean inside the analyser or open the analyser for cleaning.

The SoToxa Mobile Analyser does not contain any user serviceable components. If a fault is suspected or routine factory maintenance is required, then please 

contact Product Support.
Only use the printer and USB cables supplied with the analyser, do not attempt to connect any other equipment to the analyser as this may damage the 

equipment or be hazardous to the user.

1.11 Servicing

The SoToxa Mobile Analyser requires an annual service which must be carried out by a qualified service engineer. It is important to have your analyser serviced 

annually to ensure it is performing correctly. This requires the analyser and accessories to be returned to the manufacturer or authorised servicing facility for a 

short period of time.
The accuracy of tests carried out on an analyser which is overdue a service may be reduced. Failure to return the analyser for annual service will invalidate 

warranty claims.

1.12   Warranty

The SoToxa Mobile Analyser is covered by an initial 12 month manufacturer’s guarantee. The guarantee covers all mechanical or electrical faults and firmware 

or hardware failures. The manufacturer’s guarantee does not cover the systems for loss, theft or damage caused by the user.
