CAUTION: Ensure that the positioning hole on the side of the tray is absolutely dry (see Figure 17). This
!
hole is used to ensure that the test strip tray is automatically positioned correctly in the instrument.
4. Pick up the cleaned test strip tray and, with the retaining bar nearest to you and closed (down), slide it into the slot be-
low the function keys, so that the near edge of the tray is flush with the near edge of the analyzer.
CAUTION: Be careful not to touch the grey reference pad. Contamination of the reference pad may impair
!
the quality of the results obtained.
5. If you wish to proceed with the next readings directly after cleaning the test strip tray, switch the Urisys 1100 system on
again. During the self check the system will verify that the reference pad is in good condition for reading and that the
positioning hole in the test strip tray (see Figure 17) is free. If not, an error message will be displayed (see Section 8).
