INTENDED USE
The 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer is a battery operated Luminometer utilized primarily for objective and sensitive
determination of the end result of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) tests. The 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer power supply
is provided to charge the battery. The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Hygiene Management Software is designed for the transfer,
organization, and storage of data generated from the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP Tests.
3M has not designed nor documented the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer, and its power supply, or 3M Clean-Trace
Hygiene Management Software for use with other manufacturers’ products, use with other manufacturers’ designs, or use
in any other application that has not been evaluated or documented by 3M and may lead to an unsafe condition. The 3M
Clean-Trace Luminometer is not intended to be used in potentially ammable or explosive environments. Although the 3M
Clean-Trace Hygiene Monitoring and Management System is very sensitive, surfaces or solutions should not be considered
sterile based on results. The 3M Clean-Trace Hygiene Monitoring and Management System is not intended to be used in the
diagnosis of conditions in humans or animals. The user is responsible to know and follow applicable workplace regulations.
3M anticipates that the 3M Clean-Trace ATP Tests, equipment, and software will be utilized by technicians that have been
properly trained on the 3M Clean-Trace ATP Test methods.
If this product is used in a manner not specied, the protection provided by the product may be impaired.
USER RESPONSIBILITY
Users are responsible for familiarizing themselves with product instructions and information. Visit our website at
www.3M.com/foodsafety, or contact your local 3M representative or distributor for more information.
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 inuence results.
It is the user’s responsibility in selecting any test method or product to evaluate a sucient number of samples with the
appropriate matrices and microbial 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 any 3M Food Safety product do not constitute a guarantee of the
quality of the matrices or processes tested.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Using ATP Detection for Hygiene Monitoring and Management
The 3M Clean-Trace Hygiene Monitoring and Management System consists of the following: 3M Clean-Trace
Luminometer, 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Tests, and 3M Clean-Trace Hygiene Management Software. This system is used to
detect ATP on surfaces or in water samples to measure levels of contamination for the purpose of hygiene monitoring
and management.
The detection technology used is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence. ATP is present in all animal and
vegetable material, including most food debris, living and dead bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms. The 3M
Clean-Trace Tests use Luciferin/Luciferase enzyme to produce light that is proportional to the amount of ATP present. The
3M Clean-Trace Luminometer measures the intensity of the light emitted from a sample, and it displays the test result in
Relative Light Units (RLU). Users do a validation study on their surface or water samples to determine the RLU test result
pass, caution and fail thresholds.
The rapid test results provided by the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer allow users to take immediate remedial action in
response to a fail test result. The Test Point with a fail test result can be re-cleaned and retested before production,
ensuring that hygiene management goals are achieved. The results provide data that can be used in part to make the
decision to begin food or beverage production.
Read the Instructions for Use documents for 3M Clean-Trace Tests before using them along with a 3M Clean-Trace
Luminometer.

OPERATING THE 3M CLEAN‑TRACE LUMINOMETER
Battery usage and maintenance
• A 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer has an internal rechargeable lithium ion battery that must be charged to use a 3M
Clean-Trace Luminometer.
Charging the battery
• Select the charger adapter that is appropriate for power in your country.
• Connect the charger to a 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer.
• Connect the charger to a power outlet.
• The battery becomes fully charged in approximately 2 hours.
• To monitor the charge status, turn on the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer. A lightning bolt icon appears in the battery
charge level.
When the battery is charged
• Disconnect the charger from the power outlet.
• Unplug the charger from the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer.
Using the battery level indicator
• The battery level indicator is located in the upper right corner of the screen.
• When a 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer is on, the indicator shows the remaining battery level.
• In Figure 1, the indicator shows the battery is fully charged
• As the battery charge decreases, the blue segment of the indicator becomes smaller.
• When the battery level is less than 10%, the indicator becomes red, showing the battery should be recharged.
• When the battery level is less than 5%, the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer automatically shuts down.
Managing the battery
• In normal usage, the battery provides up to eight hours of charge capacity.
• As the battery ages, it will provide less than eight hours of charge capacity.
• The battery must be charged when the indicator is red, indicating less than 10% charge capacity.
• The battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging.
• When storing a 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer for more than a month, the battery level should be at 50% charge. Do
not store a 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer with a fully discharged battery because the battery may lose the ability to be
recharged. Do not store a 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer with a fully charged battery because it may lose the ability to
recharge to full power.
• Battery replacement is recommended after two years of normal use. For battery replacement, the 3M Clean-Trace
Luminometer must be sent to a 3M Service Center.
Switching the Power on
Before switching on the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer, check the chamber to ensure it is empty.
1. Press and hold the gray on/o button located below the cursor control buttons. The red 3M logo appears to
conrm the power on process has started, then the 3M logo Lockup appears and repeats several times.
2. The Welcome screen displays instructions for installing the 3M Clean-Trace Hygiene Management Software on
your computer using the software installation wizard provided on the segment of memory in the 3M Clean-Trace
Luminometer that appears on your computer as a ash drive.
• To prevent this display from appearing in the future, tap the Do not display again checkbox.
3. The screen goes black for a few seconds, then the Diagnostic Check screen appears. During the diagnostic check, a
progress bar is visible. Tap [Continue] when it’s no longer grayed out.
4. The 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer attempts to synchronize with a computer.
• Refer to the Synchronizing the 3M Clean‑Trace Luminometer with the Computer Database section in this User
Manual for more information.
• To skip the synchronize, tap [Skip Sync].
5. The log in screen appears. Refer to the Logging in on the 3M Clean‑Trace Luminometer section of this User Manual
for instructions.
