Changing the sheath filter
Introduction This topic describes how to change the sheath filter. The sheath
filter is connected in-line with the sheath line. It filters the sheath
fluid as it comes from the sheath container.
When to change
the sheath filter We recommend changing the sheath filter assembly every
six months. Increased debris appearing in an FSC vs SSC plot can
indicate that the sheath filter needs to be replaced. See
Supplies and
consumables (page 121) for ordering information.
