6-6 Maintenance & Service

If minor salt or blood accumulation is visible on the Wash
Head, clean the Wash Head: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and
warm distilled water to gently wipe any build-up off the
lower surface of the Wash Head.

If the Wash Head has a great deal of accumulation on the
bottom (as in the far right photo on previous page) or on the
top (not shown), the Wash Head must first be removed for
cleaning: see “Removing and Cleaning the Wash Head” on
page 9-15 .
Upon removal, inspect the Wash Head for salt accumulation
on the top and bottom surfaces.
5. Inspect the Wash Head to be sure it is clean before proceeding.
6. When finished, close the side door, then select Done .
6.1.3 Soak Cleaning
Soak Cleaning helps dissolve organic build-up from all surfaces that contact blood samples inside the
analyzer and is the best way to clean the needle, the dilution chamber, and the aperture. The Soak
Cleaning process will require a new, unused tube of VetScan HemaClean.
Abaxis recommends a Soak Cleaning every 14 days (the default setting). Users who run fewer than 5
samples per day may set the Soak Cleaning Interval to 30 days. The user may schedule a preferred day
and time to perform this cleaning ( see “Admin Settings” on page 3-11 ).
1. The analyzer displays reminders when a Soak Cleaning is needed. When this occurs, select
Next to begin cleaning. An instruction screen is then displayed.
