2. Safety precautions

2.1. Power supply

To ensure safe functioning of the instrument, only use the in-
cluded power pack!

2.2. Biohazard

Using the instrument makes contact to urine inevitable. There-
fore, use protective gloves whenever measuring with the instru-
ment and be cautious when handling urine samples.

2.3. Protective clothing

We recommend to always wear gloves and a lab coat as protec-
tive clothing.

2.4. Inappropriate application

The URYXXON ® 500 is designed for the professional evaluation
of URYXXON ® Stick 10 urine test strips. Inappropriate use, or
use by untrained staff terminates any warranty claim for the user
with respect to MACHEREY-NAGEL (see General usage com-
ments, chapter 17.7).

2.5. Housing damage

If the housing is damaged, the instrument has to be sent in for
repairs. Correct functioning and measuring results are not guar-
anteed any more.

2.6. Cable break

In the case of cable break, immediately stop using the instrument
and replace the power pack.

2.7. Transport

To transport the instrument, the cardboard box from the initial
shipment including the protective foamed plastic is ideal. There-
fore, we recommend to keep the box. In case you do not have
the original box anymore, use a large cardboard box and plenty
of soft cushioning material, so that the instrument cannot shift
during transport.
Make sure to remove the transport rack before you ship the in-
strument (see Initial operation, chapter 5).

3. Instrument set-up

3.1. Set-up location

Only use the instrument in a suitable location. It should be posi-
tioned on a dry, clean, level and horizontal surface.
The operating temperature is between 15 – 33 °C, while the opti-
mal temperature range for the instrument is between 18 – 25 °C.
For optimal performance, the humidity should be between
20 – 80 %.
Make sure to protect the instrument from drastic changes in tem-
perature. Avoid positioning the instrument close to windows, hot
plates, ovens etc. To ensure correct functioning and reliable re-
sults, the instrument should not be exposed to direct sunlight or
other bright, focused light sources.

3.2. Package content

Open the box carefully with a sharp instrument. Make sure not to
damage the content. Take out the instrument and all other parts
carefully. Check the package, instrument and all accessories for
visible damage. If a part is damaged, please contact your dis-
tributor or the technical support (see Contact, chapter 17.8).
The following picture shows the complete package content.
Check the shipment for completeness. If a part is missing, please
contact your distributor or the technical support as well.
Note: Keep the original box and the packaging material from the
initial shipment to optimally protect the instrument in case of a
return-shipment.
