8.2 Daily Maintenance
Recommended operations should be performed at the start of every run or on
demand.
8.2.1 INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF PROBES
The probes are a delicate part of the instrument. Precision of results is essentially
dependent on how well the probes are maintained. Probe tip must be kept clean.
1. Inspect if the probes are not bent or damaged. If a probe is defective contact
your technical support.
2. Inspect the probes for debris and clean them if contaminated.
3. Open the Maintenance scheduler status screen and press
Perform
behind
the Clean needle function.
4. Gently remove protein deposits or solids from tip with a cotton swab soaked
in 70% Alkohol. Dry with lint-free tissue.
5. Press Ok when done. The scheduler will be updated automatically.
6. After Cleaning the probes, flush the system.
8.2.2 CHECK AND REPLACE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS
System wash solution and cleaning solutions are necessary to run the system.
Provide all solutions to avoid interruption during the run.
System Wash Solution:
The system washes the probes between sample aspira-
tions, requiring approximately 4 mL of wash solution for each performed test
in case of single reagent tests. The washing solution is pumped up from its res-
ervoir and is disposed into the waste reservoir, both reservoirs have electronic
level sensors. If volume is not sufficient, a message will warn after initialization.
