Figure 6-18: The Waste Collection Station

Removing the Waste Collection Tray

1) Open the Waste Collection Station door. Note that waste test cards are

held in a removable tray.

2) Place the index finger of one hand on the sliding retainer bar (1,

Figure 6-18) to prevent it from snapping back.

3) Remove the waste collection tray (

) from the station by lifting the front

edge of the tray slightly and then pulling it toward you.

4) When the tray is clear of the station, allow the sliding retainer bar to

slowly slide back into place.

5) Dispose of the test cards in the tray.

Note: Once cards have been removed from the Waste Collection Station, never

reinsert them. This will cause the instrument to jam.

Replacing the Waste Collection Tray

1) Slide the tray onto its shelf, lifting the front edge to clear the retaining

brackets.

2) Close the waste collection door.

Note: If the waste collection tray is not replaced, the instrument cannot eject cards

and eventually stops processing.

BIOHAZARD WARNING

Although VITEK

2 test cards are sealed, they should be

treated as biohazards and disposed of accordingly.
