Cleaning the Test Strip Tray
IMPORTANT: Always wear protective gloves when handling the
test strip tray.
At the end of each day, clean the tray using the following procedure:
1. Turn off the IDEXX VetLab UA Analyzer and pull the test strip
tray out of the analyzer.
2. Rinse the contaminated parts of the test strip tray under
running water and then clean it with 70% isopropyl alcohol
(if necessary). Slight crystalline deposits, especially those
contaminating the retaining bar mechanism or the cogs on
the underside of the test strip tray, can be removed with a soft
brush. Dry the tray with a lint-free wipe.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage the gray reference
pad (Figure 13) during cleaning, and ensure that it is
completely clean and dry before reading a test strip.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the positioning hole on the side of
the tray is absolutely dry and clean (Figure 14). This hole is
used to ensure that the test strip tray is positioned correctly in
the analyzer.
3. With the retaining bar nearest to you, slide the tray into the slot
below the function keys so that the edge of the tray is flush
with the edge of the analyzer (Figure 15).
4. Turn on the UA analyzer. The self-check begins automatically
and verifies that the reference pad is in good condition and
that the positioning hole in the test strip tray is unobstructed.
If not, a notification will appear (see the “Troubleshooting”
section on pages 29–34).
