MAINTENANCE
4 MAINTENANCE
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 screen. Take
care that no liquid runs onto the edges of the screen,
the measurement well or the connectors.
If necessary, a mild detergent may be used. Do not
use organic solvents or corrosive substances. Spill-
age of potentially infectious material should be wiped
off immediately with absorbent paper tissue and the
contaminated areas swabbed with 70% ethyl alco-
hol, Desicton (Kiilto), 0.5% sodium hypochlorite or
Super Sani-Cloth
Germicidal Disposable Wipe. For
®
safety, use chemical resistant gloves and follow the
instructions in the safety data sheet. Materials used
to clean spills, including gloves, should be disposed
of as biohazardous waste.

New software can be uploaded to the instrument
with a USB storage, see page 25. Ask your local
supplier for more information.
