Cleaning External Surfaces
To prevent saline deposit buildup, wipe down all external instrument surfaces
that have been exposed to sheath fluid.
NOTICE Over time, saline deposits may develop on the interior surface of the
SIT Bal seal retainer, causing an incomplete SIT flush between samples. If this
occurs, you might need to remove and clean the retainer with DI water. See
Figure 4-5 on page 80 and steps 3, 4, 9, and 10 of the Replacing the Bal Seal
procedure that starts on page 79.
NOTICE Do not use BD FACSClean solution or bleach to clean or disinfect the
barcode reader. See Cleaning the Barcode Reader on page 48.
