4 MAINTENANCE
The QuikRead go instrument has been designed
to be as user-friendly as possible with no need for
regular maintenance. For any repair requirement,
contact your local supplier.
Instrument calibration
The instrument is factory calibrated. Proper func-
tioning of the instrument is checked by the self-
check procedure during every measurement.
In case of malfunction, an error message is dis-
played.
The calibration data defining the overall assay
curve or cut-off value for each test is encoded
on the cuvette label. This information is trans-
ferred automatically to the instrument during every
measurement.
Cleaning the instrument
Periodically clean the exterior of the instrument
using a lint-free cloth dampened with water.
Pay special attention to cleaning the display. Take
care that no liquid runs onto the edges of the dis-
play, the measurement well or the connectors.
If necessary, a mild detergent may be used. Do
not use organic solvents or corrosive substances.
Spillage of potentially infectious material should
be wiped off immediately with absorbent paper tis-
sue and the contaminated areas swabbed with a
standard disinfectant or 70% ethyl alcohol. Materi-
als used to clean spills, including gloves, should
be disposed of as biohazardous waste.
