User Responsibility - 3M Clean-Trace ATP Bedienungsanleitung

The Clean-Trace Water – Free ATP test is designed to give more information on the sample
following analysis with Clean-Trace Water – Total ATP test. However, dipping the Total stick
into the sample changes the sample because ATP is released from any microbes present.
Therefore do not use the same sample for subsequent Free ATP or microbiology tests.
Take one sample and make 2 sub-samples from this, one can be used for testing Total and
the other one for any additional tests that are required.

User Responsibility

When selecting a test method, it is important to recognize that external factors such
as sampling methods, testing protocols, sample preparation, handling, and laboratory
technique may influence results.
It is the user's responsibility in selecting any test method to evaluate a sufficient number of
samples with the appropriate matrices and challenges to satisfy the user that the chosen
test method meets the user's criteria.
It is also the user's responsibility to determine that any test methods and results meet its
customers' and suppliers' requirements.
As with any test method, results obtained from use of this product do not constitute a
guarantee of the quality of the matrices or processes tested.
Instructions for Use
Before the Clean-Trace device is activated, it is important to ensure your Clean-Trace
Luminometer is switched on and initialized. Refer to the manual provided with the
instrument for full details.
1. Place the Clean-Trace tests at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before use.
2. Collect liquid samples from the test sites of interest. Process each sample through
steps 3-6.
DO NOT batch at any of these stages.
3. Swirl to mix the sample. Remove a Clean-Trace Water – Free ATP device from the foil
pouch. Remove the sampling stick from the device and immerse the sample collection
rings into the liquid under test, tapping the handle gently if bubbles form. [figure 2]
Immediately remove the sample head from the solution to be tested and carefully return
the sampling stick to the device such that the handle is at its starting position.
4. To process the sample, push down firmly on the top of the sample stick handle [figure 3].
The handle will slide into the device tube and the top of the handle should be level with
the top of the device tube when fully depressed. Grip the top of the device and shake
rapidly side-to-side for at least five seconds to mix the sample and reagent [figure 4]
