to “Replacing HLD Bottle” Section on the laminated
ASTRA Troubleshooting Handout.
Replacing Filters
Unit will prompt “Change Air Filter” and
“Change Water Filter” every 6 months. Follow
unit prompts to change filters.
Test Strip Quality Control
Quality Control must be performed when a
new bottle of test strips is opened. Test strips
can be used for the number of days after
opening specified by the manufacturer or the
expiration date, whichever occurs first. Discard
any test strip bottle left open longer than
allowed by manufacturer’s instructions.
Downloading Log File

plugging it into a computer.
NOTE: ASTRA automatically tracks use life of
the following consumables:

• HLD Bottle
Cycle report should be downloaded as your
hospital policy dictates.
NOTE: A WILD (Water Inlet Line Disinfection)
cycle is required after a water filter change
and after 14 days of inactivity and requires
replacement of HLD bottle.
NOTE: The ASTRA Ultra model will mandate
the quality control of new test strip bottles,
track the open use life, and log qualified test
strip bottles. For more information, refer to
the ASTRA IFU or the “Load Qualified Test
Strip Bottle” section on the laminated ASTRA
