Cleaning the Sample Path with Glutaraldehyde
Materials required:
S glutaraldehyde
S aspiration adapter
S lint-free tissue or swabs
S test/blank reference sensor (TB5)
S test/blank glucose sensor (TB4)
S test/blank lactate sensor (TB4)
Bayer Diagnostics recommends using Cidex
, a 2% activated glutaraldehyde
solution, to discourage microbial growth in the sample path.
CAUTION: Do not use alcohol to perform this procedure. Alcohol can damage the
sensors.
