Under normal operation, the CentriVap Complete requires little maintenance.  
The following maintenance schedule is recommended.  Before servicing the 
CentriVap, disconnect electrical power.  Special precautions must be observed if 
materials used in the CentriVap are known to be hazardous, toxic, radioactive or 
contaminated with pathogenic micro organisms.  Before servicing, the CentriVap 
must be suitably decontaminated.  Wear appropriate eyewear, gloves and other 
safety apparel. 

As needed: 

Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended 
by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that the proposed 
method will not damage equipment. 

1.

 

Clean up all spills; remove liquids from the chamber.  Clean or decontaminate 
all surfaces using agents suitable for the substance spilled. 

2.

 

Clean lid and gasket using soft cloth, sponge or chamois and a mild, non-
abrasive soap or detergent. 

3.

 

Utilization of acids requires immediate cleaning and neutralization after a run 
or physical damage to the stainless steel collection chamber will result. 

4.

 

Check the Cold Trap for condensed or frozen solvents and dispose of 
appropriately. Completely empty the trap before the next run. 

5.

 

If the media in the optional clear canister has changed color, discard and 
replace the insert with a new insert.  For the radiochemical trap insert, no 
indicator exists; therefore, it should be discarded after each use.  In radioactive 
applications, the system should be monitored with a Geiger counter. 

6.

 

Check rotors for loose or missing parts.  Tighten or replace as required.  Do 
not use defective rotors. 

7.

 

Inspect the chamber to insure that there are not cracks or structural damage.  
Call Labconco if defects exist.
