16. Cleaning and maintenance

To ensure correct functioning of the instrument for a long time, the instrument
needs to be cleaned and maintained carefully. Generally, the instrument has to
be turned off and disconnected from the power supply, before you start cleaning
it.

16.1 Daily cleaning

The test strip slide has to be cleaned every day as to ensure the correct func-
tioning of the instrument.
Carefully remove the transport slide. To do so, pull on the upper black plastic
cover. Rinse the slide with clear water, if necessary, you can use some mild
cleaning agent as well. To disinfect the slide, you can use alcohol based disin-
fectants (70–85 % ethanol or isopropanol). After disinfection, rinse the slide with
water again. Also clean the metal part of the transport slide. To fit the plastic
cover on the metal part again, simply push the plastic cover onto the metal part.
You can push the entire slide completely into the housing to ensure a proper fir
of metal part and plastic cover.
Note: Do not clean the transport tray in a dish-washer!

16.2 Weekly cleaning

Housing and touch screen should be cleaned at least once a week.
Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. If necessary, you can use a mild cleaning
agent. Then, dry the housing with a soft cloth. Make sure that no water pen-
etrates the housing or gets into the printer. To clean the touch screen, use a
soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary you can use special LCD cleaning fluid, which
is commercially available.
Note: Never use aggressive, organic solvents such as acetone for cleaning the
instrument. We recommend isopropanol for cleaning and disinfection.
