14. Maintenance of the Coag 2D
14.1 Cleaning the Measuring Unit
Remove any reagent or sample that has spilled onto the measuring unit
immediately with a paper towel dipped in water mixed with a chemically
neutral antiseptic washing agent, then make sure it is wiped completely
dry. Perform the same procedure if the reagent holding container is con-
taminated as well.
The measurement wells may only be cleaned with cotton buds slightly
dampened with distilled water, and the incubation positions may only be
cleaned with cotton buds soaked in water mixed with a washing agent.
Leave the unit to dry in heated position for at least ten minutes after clea-
ning and before starting measurements.
14.2 Cleaning the Screen
Clean the screen with a cleaning agent or commercially available LCD
screen wipes.
14.3 Cleaning the Housing
Power off and unplug the instrument, then clean its housing and its power
supply with a towel soaked in water mixed with a chemically neutral wa-
shing agent.
Do not clean the measuring unit with a solution that
contains sodium-hypochlorite or any other caustic
agent.
Opening the housing of the instrument and/or the
power supply may cause malfunction or electrocution.
Only skilled personnel may service the device.
