VIII. 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 in order to measure levels of contamination for the purpose of hygiene
monitoring and management.
The detection technology used is 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 surfaces 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 failing test result. The Test Point with a failing 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 to
advise 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.

XI. HOW TO PERFORM A QUICK TEST OR UNPLANNED TEST
a.
Performing an Unplanned test from an un-registered Luminometer
Unplanned tests are part of the Unplanned test Sample plan.
An un-registered Luminometer is a Luminometer that has not yet been synchronized to a
3M™
Clean-Trace™
Desktop Software, therefore not assigned to a Location.
To perform an Unplanned test, on an unregistered Luminometer, follow the steps below:
▪Log-in on the Luminometer
▪Tap [Unplanned test] in the home screen.
▪In the “Add unplanned test” screen, adjust the unplanned test point name as needed.
▪Select the Test type.
▪

oIn the case of Visual Inspection as Test type,
recording the result will means tap
[Pass]
or
[Fail]
.
oIn the case of ATP test, follow the Instructions for Use for the 3M Clean-Trace Test to collect a
sample, activate the test and shake it for at least 5 seconds. Open the 3M Clean-Trace
Luminometer by pressing the rocker cap. Then insert the activated test into the chamber. Keep the
3M Clean-Trace Luminometer upright whenever a test is in the chamber to ensure accurate results
and avoid spillage of reagents, which could damage the sensitive components of the instrument.
▪For ATP Test type, tap [Start] to begin measuring. A progress bar appears and moves from left to right. The ATP
results will be displayed after about 7 seconds in the number of RLU (Relative Light Unit).
