BIOHAZARD

Wear personal protective

equipment. Use universal precautions.
Refer to

Appendix H

for recommended

precautions when working with
biohazardous materials.

To enable your Clinitek Status

analyzer to perform as intended
and provide reliable test results, it
is recommended that you regularly
check the white calibration bar on
the test table, and always check it
after a strip jam.

In normal use, the white calibration
bar should not become dirty or
discolored.

Cleaning the White Calibration Bar

Remove the insert from the test
table.

Remove the test table by pulling
it slowly out of the analyzer.

Check the white calibration bar
on the test table for dirt or
discoloration.
