Ultrium cleaning cartridge The IBM LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge is valid for 50 uses only: the cartridge's LTO-CM chip tracks the number of times that the cartridge is used. If you insert a cleaning cartridge when the drive does not need to be cleaned or if you insert a cleaning cartridge that has expired, the drive will automatically eject the cartridge.
