Biometra TRIO 

Maintenance and Repair 

 

Version 03_19 

103 

 

Only wipe the housing of the Biometra TRIO with a soft clean cloth which may be 
slightly wetted with a commercial neutral detergent, if necessary. 

 

Clean the ventilation slits on the underside and at the rear of the device with a 
vacuum cleaner.

Disinfecting the device  

 

WARNING 

Biological hazard! Clean the Biometra TRIO with particular care after analyzing poten-
tially infectious material. Wear suitable protective equipment, e.g., protective gloves. 

 

NOTICE 

The only suitable cleaning method for the housing is wipe disinfection. 

When using spray disinfectants there is a risk that the liquid enters the sensitive elec-
tronic system through the ventilation slits. If the disinfectant has a spray nozzle, apply 
disinfectant to a suitable cloth before using it on the device. 

 

 

Avoid contamination by handling sample substances with care. 

 

Wipe spilled samples or reagents immediately with an absorbent cloth or piece of 
paper. 

 

If the Biometra TRIO is used for the analysis of infectious material, great care must 
be taken because the TRIO cannot be decontaminated as a whole device.  

 

Immediately remove visible contamination by suitable means. Do not allow sol-
vents to enter the device. 

 

The sample block is also suitable for wipe and spray disinfection. The only suitable 
cleaning method for the housing is wipe disinfection.
