14.2 How to clean the strip holder
Wipe off sample residues from the strip holder with a lint‑free cloth after each mea surement.
This prevents carry‑over and drying of sample residues.
To remove the strip holder for more comprehensive cleaning, make sure to turn the instrument
off. Pull the strip holder from the metal sled below (Pic. 16). Wipe down the strip holder with
disinfection wipes. When removed from the instru ment, you may also use water with a soft
brush and/or liquid disinfectants.
After cleaning, insert the holder on the metal sled (Pic. 17). The rectangular notches of the
transport mechanism and the strip holder must be placed on top of each other (Pic. 18). Use
reasonable force to push the strip holder completely onto the metal sled. Doing so the metal
sled and the strip holder will be pushed back completely into the housing. If you get an error
message after turning the instrument on: Turn the instrument off and push the strip holder
again on the metal sled with more force.
