Chapter 4: Preventive Maintenance
Clean Components
Periodic Maintenance
Periodic maintenance involves cleaning the washer components on a regular basis
to keep the washer running efficiently and in compliance with instrument
specifications. The recommended
frequency for cleaning washer
components is at least monthly . The risk and performance factors associated with
your assays may require that some or all of the procedures be performed more
frequently.
Warning! Internal Voltage. Turn off and unplug the washer for all
cleaning operations.
Important! Do not apply lubricants to manifold o-rings, channel-end
seals, bottle cover seals, any tubing connection, or any surface that is a
part of the fluid path. The use of any lubricant on the fluid handling
components will interfere with the aspirate and dispense performance,
and may cause irreparable damage to these components.
Important! When cleaning components:
• Do not immerse the instrument, spray it with liquid, or use a “wet”
cloth on it.
• Do not allow the cleaning solution to run into the interior of the
instrument. (If this happens, contact the Bio-Tek Service
Department.)
• Do not expose any part of the instrument to the recommended
diluted sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach) for more than 20
minutes. Prolonged contact may damage the instrument surfaces.
Be certain to rinse and thoroughly wipe all surfaces.
• Do not soak the keypad. Instead, moisten a clean cloth with
deionized or distilled water and wipe the keypad. Dry it immediately
with a clean, dry cloth.
Important! HT models with the accessory 96-tube manifold
(HT2/HTV2): Perform Periodic Maintenance on the manifold (96-tube
or 192-tube) most frequently in use.
Ensure that the washer is configured for operation with the installed
manifold (refer to Manifold Selection in Chapter 3 , Operation .)
Failure to set the manifold type before operating the washer may
damage the manifold and void your warranty .
