The Test Strip Clip and Test Strip Loader are color-coded and labeled to match with
corresponding strips to ensure proper readings.
The strip loader makes adding strips simple, and it ensures the strips are aligned
for accuracy.
Test:
1) Place the desired strip(s) onto the appropriate slots on the strip
loader and use the strip clip to pick them up.
2) Select “Start Test” in the sureTREAT
®
software. sureTREAT will provide
timers on the screen, as well as audio cues if you have speakers.
3) Dip the test strips into the vial for 2 seconds noting the correct
orientation of test strips to the vial, remove, do not shake off excess
water, and place the strip clip onto the shuttle. Press the shuttle into
the device.
4) After one minute of testing, your results are ready.
5) Empty and rinse water sample dipping vial after each test.
Pro Tip:
If you have multiple samples to be tested, this is a great time to start the
process for your next test.
Pro Tips for handling test strips:
∙
Be sure you have dry hands before opening the test
strip bottle.
∙
Always handle strips from the bottom to avoid contact with the
test pads.
∙
Keep lid securely closed after removing a strip to prevent
moisture from entering the bottle.
You will notice that the Flex 2 strip is packaged in an individually foil-wrapped
sleeve. This packaging helps protect the strip from sunlight which can degrade the
salt test pad.
Pro Tip:
For best results, pour used sample water out of the vial by holding the vial
horizontally versus vertically. The iron and phosphate test prep reagents can cause
interference if they enter and contaminate the center chamber.
