The tray material is designed to withstand any of the following cleaning
methods:
• Automatic dishwasher with standard laboratory detergent
CAUTION: Dishwasher temperatures during the washing and
drying cycles must not exceed 85 °C (185 °F). Exceeding this
temperature will cause damage to the cassettes. Use the top
rack of the dishwasher.
• 10% bleach solution
• Phenolic cleaning solution
Note: To disinfect a contaminated surface, use the 10% bleach solution and allow it
to remain in contact with the contaminated surface for five minutes.
3) Replace the test card collection tray in the Waste Collection Station.
Cleaning Optics (Normal Maintenance)
Note: Perform the procedure Shutting Down the Instrument on page 7-25 before
cleaning the optics.
CAUTION: Do not wear powdered latex gloves while cleaning the
optics. The gloves that contain a powder can interfere with the
optics.
CAUTION: Do not use commercial glass cleaner when cleaning
the optics. This may result in calibration failures observed as the
optics age. Clean optics using a quality, lint free lens paper that
has been slightly moistened with alcohol.
1) Open the Waste Collection door.
