Maintenance and troubleshooting
Both regular and periodic maintenance should be performed to ensure
that your imPULSE S.U.M. operates safely and functions properly.
Following the provided maintenance recommendations will ensure a
long system life.
7.1 Routine maintenance guidelines
Environmental conditions, operating parameters, and the ability of
the user to adhere to standard operating procedures, as outlined
in this user’s guide, can have a significant impact on the useful
life of the imPULSE S.U.M. hardware. High-wear items that are
common to conventional systems, such as bearings, seals, O-rings,
and sterilization valves, have been considered in the design of the
disposable construction of the imPULSE S.U.M. This creates a mixing
system that is inherently robust, and requires low levels of routine
maintenance. The following routine maintenance guidelines are based
on standard operating conditions, as defined in this user’s guide.
Take time between mixing batches to clean the exterior of the
imPULSE S.U.M. This will improve the appearance and overall
longevity of the hardware system. Between runs, the outer support
container, motor drive, and Touchscreen Console can be wiped down
with sanitary wipes. Steel surfaces on the outer support container
can also be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner.
Note:
Only use a
clean, dry cloth to wipe down the touchscreen on the Touchscreen
Console.
The S.U.M. hardware is constructed in accordance with IP-54 ingress
protection ratings, and can be cleaned to the extent of standard
laboratory cleaning procedures. Ensure that all electrical connections
have been disconnected and electrical enclosures are closed tightly.
The unit must be allowed to fully dry prior to being brought back into
operation.
7.2 Touchscreen Console software maintenance
When available, users should install software updates on the
Touchscreen Console. To do this, first insert the USB drive containing
the latest software update into the USB port on the Touchscreen
Console. Select the Settings icon on the Home screen, and touch
