Urine analyzer use precautions and maintenance methods
What should I pay attention to when using the urine analyzer? How to maintain the urine analyzer? Today, Xiaobian talks about the use of the urine analyzer and the maintenance methods, I hope to help everyone.
Urine Analyzer Usage Precautions
1. Different types of urine chemical analyzers use different urine test strips. Do not open the caps that hold the test strips when the test strips change from refrigerated temperature to room temperature. Cover the cap immediately after each use to prevent the test strip from being deteriorated by moisture.
2. Keep the urine analyzer clean and use a clean sample cup.
3. Use fresh mixed urine. After the specimen is taken, it should be inspected within 2 hours.
4. The time for immersing the urine sample is 2 seconds. Excessive urine specimens are sucked away by filter paper. All reagent blocks, including blank blocks, must be invaded into the urine.
5. the best temperature for the instrument should be room temperature 20-25 ° C, urine specimens and test strips are best maintained within this temperature range.
6. The test strip should be stored in a dry, opaque, covered container, placed in a cool, dry place, and kept out of the refrigerator or exposed to volatile fumes.
7. When reporting the test results, because the results of various types of urine chemical analysis are only designed to have large differences, they cannot be explained by the symbol code results alone. It is necessary to combine the semi-quantitative values for analysis, so as to avoid the report method of qualitative results is not enough. , bringing confusion to clinical interpretation.
Urine analyzer maintenance method
The urine analyzer is a sophisticated electro-optical instrument that must be carefully maintained. The instrument should be protected from long-term exposure to sunlight and excessive temperature and humidity. Operating the instrument in an irregular manner can disrupt the normal operation of the instrument and cause undesirable results.
Routine maintenance
Before operation, carefully read the instructions of the urine analyzer and the instructions for the urine test. Each urine chemical analyzer should establish an operating procedure and operate according to its regulations.
It is necessary to have a special person responsible for and establish a dedicated instrument notebook, and register the situation of the day instrument paddle, the problems that arise, and the maintenance and repair status.
Before the daily test, the urine analyzer should be thoroughly inspected (various devices and waste devices, paper conditions, and whether the instrument needs to be calibrated, etc.). After the test is completed, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned and maintained.
Maintenance
Daily maintenance: It should be cleaned every day and washed with water.
Weekly or monthly maintenance: All types of urine chemistry analyzers should be serviced weekly or monthly depending on the specifics of the instrument.
The above is about the use of precautions and maintenance methods for the urine analyzer. I hope everyone will understand the precautions and maintenance methods of the urine analyzer.
