Operational Temperature and Humidity
System is operational at 15-38
º
C.
NOTE
: SQA-V operates in a wide range of ambient temperatures however the
system is calibrated to measure semen samples at room temperature:
20-25
º
C (68-77
º
F).
NOTE
: Variations in ambient temperature may impact the accuracy of test
results because of the effect of temperature on human semen.
System is fully operational at up to 80% humidity and 26°C.
Maintenance Schedule
Daily cleaning of measurement compartment (refer to User Guide –
"Cleaning") or with each 10-15 tests and/or spillage.
USE ONLY the
MANUFACTURER supplied cleaning kit, brush and solution to clean the SQA-V
or the system may be damaged and/or inoperable!
Manufacturer Recommendations
Operate the SQA-V away from devices that may cause electronic noise (cell
phones) or other devices causing vibrations such as centrifuges.
Turn system
OFF
at the rear-panel when not in use for extended period of
time.
When running High Sensitivity or Post-vasectomy tests do not interrupt test
cycle nor interfere with system or testing capillary in any way – this test
requires complete stability of the system during the 5-minute testing cycle.
Variations in ambient temperature can affect semen samples. The SQA-V
(HUMAN) is calibrated to test samples at room temperature: 20-25ºC (68-
77ºF). All VET SQA’s are calibrated with internal heaters.
Semen is considered a biologically hazardous material and is subject to
individual laboratory protocols for handling such materials.
