performed only by technicians trained in repair and maintenance of high voltage and microwave power
systems.
Proper precautions must be taken to avoid contact with reagents or reagent vapors. Protective gear should be
worn as outlined in the user’s safety program for hazardous materials and the reagent manufacturer’s material
safety data sheet. Refer to these guidelines for proper handling and disposal of reagents.
Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
After Each Sample Test
- When using Omni Vessels, Xpress Vessels, Easy Prep Vessels, Easy Prep Plus Vessels or
open-vessel technology, wipe the entire cavity with warm water applied with a soft cloth. If necessary, use a mild cleanser,
but rinse thoroughly to avoid leaving any residue or reagents
Daily
- Remove the ESP Plus cable connection from the connector port and thoroughly clean the connector with a paper
towel or soft cloth. Thoroughly wipe and clean both the inside and outside surfaces of the connector. If necessary,
dampen the towel with isopropyl alcohol to assist in cleaning.
Weekly
- Clean and dry Omni, Xpress, Easy Prep, Easy Prep Plus and open vessels.
Weekly
- When using vessel types other than Omni, Xpress, Easy Prep, Easy Prep Plus or open vessels, wipe the cavity
with warm water applied with a soft cloth. If necessary, use a mild cleanser, but rinse thoroughly to avoid leaving any
residue on the cavity. Do not use abrasive cleansers because they may scratch the fluoropolymer cavity coating,
degrading its ability to resist corrosive vapors. Rinse and thoroughly dry all cleaned areas.
Weekly
- Clean the exhaust outlet by removing the exhaust hose and wiping the space inside the exhaust outlet with a
paper towel or disposable cloth. To clean the exhaust hose, disconnect it from the blower exhaust duct, flush it with water
and allow it to dry before reconnecting it to the blower duct.
WARNING
Acid tends to condense and collect inside the blower duct and can cause severe skin burns. Wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the cavity exhaust outlet and/or hose.

there has been no loosening of or damage to the door hinges or latch. Ensure that the door closes securely.
