Clean Up
You can run a ‘Clean Up’ procedure to ensure that all the plungers are appropriately unloaded after a
protocol run. If your protocol run was aborted or had issues with plunger loading or unloading, the Clean
Up procedure should be run. Clean Up does not clean the instrument and should not be confused with the
Sanitization method. You can run a ‘Clean Up’ procedure by touching the
Clean Up
button from the
Maxwell
®
RSC Settings screen (Figure 32). Plungers can only be unloaded from the magnetic rods if a
cartridge is in place. Place a cartridge (without a plunger) at each position on the deck tray that did not
unload a plunger properly during the run. On touching the
Clean Up
button, you will be presented with a
clean up information list (Figure 34) including the following items:
•
Confirm that cartridges are present at positions for which plungers are still present on the plunger bar.
•
Plungers are not present in any cartridges in the deck tray.
•
Deck tray has been placed in the instrument.
After you have performed the checklist items, touch the
Start
button to start the clean up process. The
Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument will go through the Clean Up process and will generate and display the system
report from the Clean Up process. If plungers are not ejected after several clean up attempts, contact
Promega Technical Services ([email protected]) to determine the next appropriate steps.
