Disable
.
To customize the maintenance schedule and enable full screen reminders for mainte-
nance, select
Enable
.
4. Then select
Schedule Settings:
The Interval fields can be used to set the number of days
between cleanings. Abaxis recommends that Intervals be
left at the default values of a 7 day Interval for Wash Head
Cleaning and a 14 day Interval for Soak Cleaning. Use the
Cleaning Day/Time fields to set the specific day and time
that cleaning is due. Users who run fewer than 5 samples
per day may set the Soak Cleaning Interval to 30 days.
Use Last Date of Scheduled Maintenance and Mainte-
nance Due Dates
to track the previous and the next
scheduled cleanings.
Note: The default interval settings are ideal for most clinics.
Note: Enabling Schedule Settings allows the user to set the preferred day and
time for maintenance and will not allow samples to be run until main-
tenance procedures have been performed.
