Calibration Notifications
If the results obtained for the reference pad or the calibration strip are outside of the defined
range, one of the following notifications appears:
t 3FGFSFODF1BE&SSPS
t $BMJCSBUJPO*OWBMJE
t $BMJCSBUJPO&SSPS
If a calibration notification appears, repeat the calibration procedure with a new IDEXX VetLab UA
Calibration Strip. When the “Calibration OK” message prints, you can begin reading IDEXX UA
Strips. For more information, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
Cleaning the Case
Always disconnect the power cable before cleaning the IDEXX VetLab UA Analyzer.
Clean the outside of the UA analyzer with a lint-free cloth dampened with a suitable disinfectant
(10% bleach or isopropyl alcohol), ensuring no liquid enters the analyzer. Do not use any of the
following near the analyzer: organic solvents, ammonia-based cleaners, ink markers, sprays/
disinfectants containing volatile liquids (except isopropyl alcohol), insecticides, polish, or room
freshener.
Care should be taken not to spill any samples, chemicals, cleaning agents, water, or other fluids
on/into the UA analyzer.
Note : Dust and animal hair can lead to analyzer failures. Routinely dust off the UA analyzer with a
damp cloth and dust around its location.
Replacing the Printer Paper
1. Press the raised dots immediately below the cover to release the
printer cover (Figure 19). After the cover pops open, lift it back.
2. Place the paper roll in the compartment and pull out the first few
inches of paper to just beyond the edge of the compartment. The
thermosensitive side of the paper (the outer surface of the paper roll)
should be facing downward (Figure 20).
3. Close the cover by pressing it until it locks audibly.
Upgrading the Software
IDEXX will provide you, at no charge, updated instrument software on a periodic basis. These
updates may include new features and should be installed immediately.
