10.2.3 - Cleaning liquid separator
The separator is designed to separate liquid from the air and can handle a lot of blood, rinse and other used
reagents from the instrument. After a period of time the separator is getting dirty and therefore it needs to
be cleaned weekly.
Detailed instructions of this procedure can be found in the Work Instruction
Cleaning liquid separator .
Symptoms of a dirty separator:
1. Separator errors.
2. Foam in the separator.
3. Waste pump cannot sufficiently remove the waste from the separator.
10.3 - Level 4 maintenance
The purpose of level 4 maintenance is to carry out the daily / weekly maintenance and replace the pump
tubing, bacterial filters and the Fill nozzle O-ring. After replacing those items, the instrument needs a Fill and
Clean sequence to clean the pipettes. Over a period protein builds up in the Westergren pipettes and needs
to be deproteinized using a strong cleaning agent.
Also the Liquid sensor have to be checked or cleaned of needed.
Detailed instructions of this procedure can be found in the Work Instruction
Level 4 maintenance .
10.3.1 - Replace bacterial filters
Detailed instructions of this procedure can be found in WI Cleaning liquid separator .
As part of the Cleaning liquid separator procedure the bacterial Hepa filter QWLV040002 is replaced with a
new one.
10.3.2 - Fill-nozzle O-ring replacement
As the fill nozzle O-ring ( QWLV050004 ) ages, it looses its flexibility and air-bubbles may occur in the
Westergren pipettes, the washer needs to be replaced.
Symptoms for a bad fill-nozzle O-ring
After the aspiration, the Westergren pipette has a zebra pattern (air- blood- air -blood, nicely divided in the
column.)
Vacuum stabilisation errors may occur.
10.3.3 - Fill and clean procedure
Note : Each pipette on the pipette belt will be filled with Starrsed Cleaning Agent, after one hour the first
pipette is washed and dried. Fill and clean takes about 1 ½ hours to complete.
Fill and clean with adapter:
1. Fill beaker with hot de-ionized water (± 130 ml, ±80°C).
2. Add ±15 ml cleaning agent (QRR 010905) to the hot de-ionized water.
3. Mix the solution well.
4. Fill adapter TLAX110906 with the cleaning solution.
- Turn adapter upside down and remove red cap (from dummy tube) and start filling the adapter until the
dummy sample tube is filled without air.
