Cleaning
Overview
As with any precision instrument, the ACP
215 device must be cleaned
periodically. The frequency and type of cleaning depends on the number of
procedures performed with the device.
In general when using any cleaning solution, follow these practices to prevent
discoloring of the finish, build up of dried cleaner debris, and cracking of the
plastic parts:
1. Follow the cleaning solution manufacturer’s guidelines for recommended
soak time and concentrated solutions mixing ratios (when used).
2. Wipe off any excess solution.
3. Clean the device using a water-wet, lint-free cloth to remove any solution
residue.
4. Dry the device using a dry, lint-free cloth.
The following sections include instructions for cleaning the various components
of the device.
Centrifuge
Well
Clean the centrifuge well using a lint free cloth sprayed with an appropriate
disinfectant cleaner.
Fluid Sensor
Using disinfectant cleaner applied to a paper towel or soft cloth dampened with
water, clean the fluid sensor located on the side of the centrifuge well. Dry the
fluid sensor after cleaning.
Drain Tubes
Ensure that the drain tubes are free from obstructions that would inhibit the flow
of fluid from the centrifuge to the drain cup.
Drain Bag
Ensure that the drain bag is connected and hanging freely at the rear of the
device. Inspect the drain bag for signs of contamination or damage (tears or
holes). If contaminated or damaged, properly dispose of the drain bag by
placing in a BioHazard waste bag or container and then replace with a fresh
clean bag.
