Maintenance Of Urine Test Strips

Do not put the removed test strips back into the original test strip bottle to avoid affecting the test results.

Quality control before use: Before opening each bottle of test strip, the sensitivity and accuracy should be tested with standard quality control urine, and it can only be used after passing the test. Avoid touching the test strip module to ensure that it is used within the storage period.

Daily maintenance: The instrument should keep the appearance dust-free, wipe with a damp cloth or neutral detergent, and prohibit the use of organic solvents. Pay attention to the timely treatment of dirt on the sample plate, the liquid extraction hole cannot be blocked, the test strip position is not shifted, and the drainage system is leaking.

Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean the surface of the sample buffer, push arm, curved needle detection area and other parts to remove residues and water stains. Check and clean test tube racks, transport belts, water supply buckets and other parts monthly to ensure that there is no urine scale on the bottom and sides.

‌Waste disposal‌: The specimens of the subjects should be treated as infectious sources and can only be processed after high-pressure sterilization‌.
