CHAPTER 7. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
Cleaning and Disinfection
The SD Biosensor recommends that the following practices and procedures be followed when
using the SD LipidoCare Professional Analyzer to minimize the risk or transmission of
bloodborne pathogens. This analyzer is at high risk of becoming contaminated with bloodborne
pathogens, such as the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). Transmission of this virus has been
documented, due to contaminated analyzers.

Cleaning is the general removal of debris such as food, feces, urine, blood, saliva, or other
body secretions, but cleaning does not kill germs effectively.
Disinfection
is the process of killing disease-causing microbes (bacteria and viruses) that may
be on the surface of your analyzer. Disinfection is the only way to reduce your exposure to
disease
