water and gently wipe and clean the calibration bar.

scuffs.
If you cannot completely clean the calibration bar or if the bar

representative.

your lab guidelines. Use a recommended disinfection solution for the
following reasons:

Severe marks can cause errors.
Do not use solvents of any kind to clean the calibration bar.

CAUTION
Do not autoclave the test table or the insert because it would
destroy them.
