Maintenance

Maintenance

WARNING!

To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage:

∙Unplug the 3M Rapid Detection Reader before cleaning.

∙Do not disassemble the 3M Rapid Detection Reader or any of its related components and accessories. The instrument contains no operator-serviceable components.

∙Do not immerse any of the 3M Rapid Detection Reader components in any liquid.

∙Do not use the 3M Rapid Detection Reader if there is apparent damage to a power cord or power supply.

To reduce the risk associated with potentially infectious patient samples:

∙Do not spill specimen or sample fluids on any of the 3M Rapid Detection Reader components or on the outside of the Test Cartridge.

∙If a spill occurs, disinfect external surfaces only, using a soft cloth containing a solution of 0.5% bleach, 70% isopropyl alcohol or 70% ethanol.

The 3M Rapid Detection Reader requires no regular maintenance or calibration during its intended life span, other than exterior cleaning as needed.

Any liquids on the external surface of a Test Cartridge must be cleaned before inserting into the ports of the TM.

Exterior Cleaning

CAUTION.

To reduce the risk of instrument or accessory damage:

∙Do not immerse the 3M Rapid Detection Reader or related devices in any liquid.

∙Do not spill liquids on the 3M Rapid Detection Reader and related accessory devices.

∙Do not expose the 3M Rapid Detection Reader to temperatures above 60°C (140°F). Do not disinfect or sterilize the 3M Rapid Detection Reader using devices such as autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, or pasteurizers. Use of such methods to disinfect/sterilize the 3M Rapid Detection Reader will cause permanent device damage and void the warranty.

The external surfaces of the TM and CM can only be disinfected using a solution of 0.5% bleach, 70% isopropyl alcohol or 70% ethanol applied to a soft cloth.

CAUTION.

Possible device damage:

∙DO NOT USE STRONG BLEACH (>0.5% solution) OR ACETONE! Oxidants and solvents could damage the 3M Rapid Detection Reader casing and touch screen.

∙Clean external surfaces only.
