Maintenance and Troubleshooting
1. Cleaning your Analyzer
Caring for MultiCare Analyzer is easy. Just keep it free from dust. If you
need to clean it, follow these guidelines carefully to help you get the best
performance possible;
To prevent malfunction of the analyzer, keep the test kit port clean from
blood, moisture, dirt, or dust. Use a lint-free cloth dampened with water
to clean analyzer. Thoroughly wring out cloth before use. Do not use an
abrasive cloth or antiseptic solution, as these may damage the display
screen.
A clean optical measuring system is a basic prerequisite for determining
precise measured values. Therefore clean the analyzer regularly and
immediately after it becomes dirty. Always switch off the analyzer before
cleaning it.
Use only the following items for cleaning:
•
Ordinary lint-free cotton buds
•
Ordinary lint-free tissues
•
Ordinary disinfecting tissues
Mild soap suds as well as 70 % ethanol or isopropyl alcohol are suitable
for cleaning. When used in the professional sector (e.g. doctor’s surgeries),
a mixture consisting of 1-propanol, 2-propanol and glutaraldehyde (brand
name “Bacillol plus”) are recommended.
Do not use any disinfectant sprays or tissues or cotton buds which are
dripping wet as the liquid may enter the analyzer and damage it.
Cleaning the outer analyzer components
•
Ensure the analyzer is switched off.
•
Wipe the outside of the analyzer with a lightly moistened, lint-free
cotton cloth. In the professional sector, the outside of the analyzer can
be cleaned with “Bacillol plus”.
