Cleaning the analyzer (monthly or as needed)
To ensure the optimal performance of your SediVue Dx* Urine Sediment Analyzer, it’s
recommended that you clean the internal components of the analyzer on a monthly basis.
If a
cartridge is overfilled or filled incorrectly, cleaning is also needed to prevent the excess
sample from contaminating the analyzer’s moving parts.
Maintaining a clean analyzer will
reduce “cartridge movement” errors and maximize the analyzer’s performance.
To clean after a cartridge was overfilled or filled incorrectly
For best results, after you notice that the cartridge has been inappropriately filled,
do not press the
Start button as this will drag urine into the internal components of the analyzer.
Instead,
follow the instructions below.
Note:
Already pressed the Start button? Use the instructions on the next page to clean the internal
components of the analyzer.
Maintenance
1. Open the analyzer door. Then,
with gloved hands, use an optical
tissue to absorb urine on top of
the cartridge.
2. Remove and dispose of the
cartridge.
3. Using a new alcohol prep pad,
clean the feed arm (dispense
area), including the front of
the move arm. Then dry the
components with an optical tissue.
4. Close the analyzer door. Once
the SediVue Dx icon has a green,
“ready” status, tap the patient
