Section 3: Operating Instructions, Page 3—7

Clean the Tubing after Use

If no slides are to be processed for an extended period (one hour or more), it is
recommended that the stain tubing be cleaned with methanol as described in

Stain Tubing and Cannula

on page 5-4. Push the operating lever down to the

UNLOCK

position to relieve the pressure against the pump tubing. You must re-prime the tubing and
the platen before processing any more slides.

Turn the Instrument Off at the End of the Day

CAUTION

Always clean the instrument after daily use. See

Daily Cleaning

on page 5-3. If using

frosted-end slides, it is especially important to clean the front guide rail on a regular and
frequent basis. This is because the stain may spread across the frosted portion of the slide
to the front rail. If allowed to accumulate, slide breakage may occur.

1. At the end of the day, clean the platen and stain tubing, and empty the waste tank.

2. Push the operating lever to the

UNLOCK

position.

3. Turn the instrument off.

Stain Pak Replacement

If the

LOW STAIN

light illuminates when the instrument is first turned on

or while slides

are being processed, a new Hematek Stain Pak is needed. Follow these steps to replace the
Stain Pak.

CAUTION

After replacement of the Stain Pak, the instrument must always be primed to remove any
air bubbles that may be present.

1. Remove the three cannulas from the used Stain Pak and lift the empty carton out of the

well at the rear of the instrument.

2. Remove the perforated tabs from the new Stain Pak carton.

3. Insert the carton with the

STAIN

bottle to the right into the well at the rear of the

instrument.
Make sure the carton is all the way down and resting on the tray at the bottom of the
well. The carton should be level when properly installed.

4. Vent each bottle and insert the cannulas as described in

Install the Stain Pak

NOTE:

Check the cannulas with each new Stain Pak and replace them if they appear bent or
damaged.

5. Empty the waste tank into an appropriate receptacle and rinse it with water after each

Stain Pak replacement. See

Emptying the Waste Tank
