For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
INTENDED USE
For use as a cleaning agent for COULTER
®
hematology
analyzer components that come in contact with blood
samples, including apertures and blood sampling valves.
Refer to your instrument product manuals and/or online
help, as applicable.
Not intended for use on the COULTER LH 780
hematology analyzer.
SUMMARY
This biodegradable and azide-free reagent contains a
proteolytic enzyme that aids in the removal of protein
buildup in the sensing orifices of a hematology analyzer.
PRINCIPLES
Blood proteins flowing through blood counting orifices
(apertures) in an instrument over time accumulate around
these openings to a point that the size of the orifices are
minimized and eventually blocked. The proteolytic enzyme
in the cleaning agent reacts with and dissolves the protein
in and around the apertures.
