to 4 are on board. If B.R.A.H.M.S KRYPTOR compact
SOLUTIONS 1 to 4 are closed, open the caps.
Put caps
into specific loca tions and inscribe the caps with
number of solution.
Check the fluidic and carousel hoods are closed.

- Request carousel hood opening by pressing on the
blue button in front of carousel.
- If there is no reagent cassette, load one or more on
specific positions.
- Check status of dilution plate and B.R.A.H.M.S

according to necessity, change or load new consum -
ables.
- Load kits on reagent tray when temperature status is
green.
- Ensure the reagent lid is well closed.
After an automatic change of day
The automatic change of day procedure is launched every
day, on the first ready or intialized stage after midnight.
This will perform automatically all the initializations (init

Maintenance
Items on the maintenance screens only need to be per -
formed if they are marked *
Expired *.
(!) These procedures will be performed automatically
when the system has been started.
Daily maintenance
- Initialize pipettor (!). To be done only if problems
occur during run on pipettor module.
- Initialize reader (!). To be done only if problems
occur during run on reader module.
- Prime Liquid Handling System (!). Check visually
the absence of leaks and bubbles during the priming
procedure.
- Check and clean reader head window by using a
cotton-swab first with water then with alcohol.
- Check and clean condensation in Reagent cassettes
with absorbent paper.
- LIS end of day. This action enables to purge LIS files
and avoid the occurrence of data transmission pro-
blems.
- Check dilution plate cleanness. Look at dilution
plate already on board if there is no dirty particles in
dilution well.
Weekly maintenance
- Check for liquid leaks. Open fluidic hood to check
the tubing system (tubing connectors, syringes).
When fluidic hood is closed, pipettor initialization is
automatically done.
- Tip path cleaning with decontamination solution
to clean up serum splashes with a paper towel
slightly wet with water, then repeat with alcohol or
specific product to decontaminate.
- Backup DataBases. Backup of all databases older
than 3 days.
